The Science of...Prairie Dogs
In this last episode of the 2024 Science of Series we will be focusing on Prairie Dogs. Depending on who you talk to they are either an ecological oasis or a nuisance species, we will touch on both in this final episode. These rodents are sometimes called keystone species as they provide homes and resources for many other organisms in their ecosystem, but also have the ability to carry the bubonic plague. For this, we will discuss prairie dog adaptions, their extremely sophisticated communication strategies and their ability to be such a highly social animal. Don’t miss the last Science Of episode of 2024.

    Very nice! And it works good! I gave my grunt call to my son now I have to use this but that will be awesome to call in a buck with a paper call. Thank you.

    So far the only issue I have with this video is the lighting is not very good, not able to get a very good view of the snake

    That's cool, but paper is not something I'd have out on a hunt. Now I may certainly start packing a piece from now on.

    • @ryandevall6565
      @ryandevall6565 Рік тому

      I think the obvious thing would be to make it beforehand and stick it with whatever gear you're using just in case you forgot the grunt call. Tape isn't something most people carry out on a hunt either.
