Description: A black-tailed prairie dog at the National Zoo in Washington, D. C., forages above ground for food. During the spring, prairie dogs eat herbs, grasses, leaves, and parts of new shrubs; during the summer prairie dogs search out seeds; and during the fall and winter they favor stems and roots. Black-tails do not store food in their burrows or hibernate.
