Black tailed vs Richardson's

I would kill for a prairie dog! They're so chunky and cute. There one with no eyes at our zoo in Saskatoon and he is so darn cute the way he sniffs for everything. He goes up to the other ones and sniffs them and gives them kisses <3 The other day I thought I saw one walking on the highway. Turned out it must have been a summer phase weasel, as it jumped like flying eagle into the grass like "bonsai!!" When I drove past.  I have such a hard time explaining why gophers are different, maybe I will show folks this photo to show the difference!
