Joe Scarborough is at it again: getting fixated on a word or phrase, and repeating it ad nauseam.

This is sweet :)
And yes, “without prairie dogs, there would be no other wild species on the prairie at all,” is something to consider. Sounds like they are doing a fine job. It amazes me what people can do :)
A Prairie Dog was the star of one of the first short YouTube memes, misnamed “Dramatic Chipmunk”.
