Black-tailed Prairie Dog: Anatomy of the Jump-yip

My personal collection of photographs depicting the jump-yip of the right-honourable Black-tailed Prairie Dog (Cynomys Ludovicianus). JH secret hero of this story. I took these photographs between 2003-2004 in Boulder, Colorado.

Merci (grido piangendo) beaucoup.

The combination of this music with their poses and gestures has a very strong effect.

Please tell me, if you can, who is performing the gesualdo madrigal?

[astronomerroyal]

Dear sir/madam,

Your fine taste shall be rewarded, thusly,

Metamorphoses performed this stunningly haunting piece (Madrigal book V), and were directed by Maurice Bourbon.

This particular recording is given to us by the Arion label.

Ah, the Black-tailed Prairie Dog. Great photos of a great creature! Thanks for putting the slide show together!

[astronomerroyal]

Every minute I spent watching them was a pleasure. For each of these photos I have about 50 more; everything from feeding to fighting, nursing to yawning. A fascinating social creature.

This video is definitely the funniest thing I've seen all day. I love the Gesualdo.

[PlowedClouds]

Very cute, I enjoyed this!

thanks

A wildly imaginative combination of images and music!

[Ramatganski]

Thank you.
