That’s what we call it intelligence

雑草が点々とする砂地に帽子を被った幼い女の子がなにやら穴の中を覗き込んでいる
大きな穴の中からネズミのような動物が顔を出し首位を窺っている
そばに座る子供たちを恐れることなくキョロキョロと周囲を見回している
どうやらプレーリードッグと呼ばれるネズミ目の動物で
北アメリカの草原地帯に穴を掘って生活する
集団で行動し性格は大人しく人を見ても攻撃したりはしない
毛色は薄い茶色で体長は30cmくらいだかラ結構大きい
巣穴から顔を出すプレーリードッグに餌をやろうとしてるのだけど、なかなか餌をとろうとしない
すると突然巣穴を飛び出し彼女たち少し離れたところに置いていた餌の袋を口で咥え走り出した
あわてて追いかけるも逃げ足が速くあっという間に離れた巣穴に潜っていく
まさかこんな展開になるとは思っていませんでしたが、プレーリードッグは頭が良いです
The chipmunks/pray dogs/gillis are diurnal and rely heavily on vision. The chipmunks are prone to hibernation in cold and short-day environments, while the Ogropray dogs hibernate but still rarely act in cold environments and often sleep. Most Gillis hibernate and sleep in the summer. Also, chipmunks are vulnerable to high temperature and humidity, so they are prone to heatstroke and sunstroke.
Since they are seasonal breeding animals, it is appropriate to purchase chipmunks/pray dogs/gillis after May to June when they appear in pet shops.
The chipmunks/praydogs/gillis tend to self-bitten the injury and trauma areas that occur in their bodies (self-biting). The male chipmunk often shows the act of urinating. This act means territorial marking, and in the wild, they rub their own urine against the trunk of a tree. Prairie dogs often rub their noses against their peers, which seems to be a peer recognition greeting. Prairie dogs bark and raise their tails like cats when they see their owners or when they are on guard, and courts their dear ones to touch them. In other words, they seem to be able to identify humans enough, and they threaten to bite people who they recognize as outsiders.
