Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo is excited to announce the appearance of new blacktailed prairie dog pups in the Zoo’s popular prairie dog habitat. After weeks of staying snug in their underground burrows, the pups have finally emerged, ready to charm visitors with their playful antics and curious nature. “This is always an exciting time for us,” said Gregg Dancho, Zoo Director. “Our guests love seeing the new pups as they finally emerge to interact with the adults. They bring so much energy to the habitat, and visitors of all ages have fun watching and learning.” Although the prairie dog exhibit is still under construction, guests can observe these lively animals as they pop up from their burrows to explore. The pups are black-tailed prairie dogs, known for their distinctive, black-tipped tails and playful behavior.
