Prairie Dog Prairie Dogs are stout, burrowing rodents among the many varieties of ground squirrels. Settlers called them "dogs" and "sod poodles" because of their high-pitched, bark-like call. As members of the genus Cynomys (Greek for "mouse dog"), all 5 species of prairie dogs belong to the Squirrel Family (Sciuridae).
In 1804, Meriwether Lewis, traveling west across the Great Plains, reported seeing these animals in "infinite numbers." At the turn of the century, as many as 5 billion prairie dogs occupied millions of acres of grass prairies across the West.

Scorpions Scorpions are venomous arthropods of the class Arachnida and are considered relatives of the spiders, mites, ticks and harvestmen. There are approximately 1,300 species of scorpions worldwide, characterized by an elongated body and a segmented tail that is tipped with a venomous stinger.
As arachnids, scorpions have mouthparts called chelicerae, a pair of pedipalps, and four pairs of legs. The pincerlike pedipalps are used primarily for prey capture and defense, but are also covered with various types of sensory hairs. The body is divided into two main regions, a cephalothorax and an abdomen. The cephalothorax is covered above by a carapace (or head shield) that usually bears a pair of median eyes and 2 to 5 pairs of lateral eyes at its front corners (a few cave and litter-dwelling scorpions are eyeless).
The abdomen consists of 12 distinct segments, with the last five forming what most people refer to as the "tail". At the end of the abdomen is the telson, which bears a bulb-shaped structure containing the venom glands and a sharp, curved aculeus to deliver the venom.

BATS: Bats are unique in the animal kingdom because they are the only mammals to have evolved true flight. Most species also possess a system of acoustic orientation, often called "bat radar," but technically known as echolocation. Free-tailed bats, also known as Mastiff Bats, or Bulldog Bats because of their facial resemblance to dogs, comprise about 90 species of bats in the family Molossidae.

A subspecies of the Brazilian Free-tailed Bat, the Mexican-Free-tailed Bat forms colonies of several million individuals. Females migrate from Central Mexico to Texas and adjacent states each spring, returning south in the fall. Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico was discovered as a result of the Mexican Free-tailed Bat's emergence. Here, in five large caves, they form summer nursery colonies, where they produce about 100 million young . While females occupy the nurseries, their daily flights to and from the caverns is a major feature of this national park. |
