Austria: Oldest Zoo in the World Welcomes New Generation of Black-Tailed Prairie Dogs
Vienna, Austria - May 31, 2024
Amidst the warm temperatures of spring, Schonbrunn Zoo witnesses the bustling activity of its black-tailed prairie dog community, as adorable offspring make their debut in the enclosure.
Born in April within the sanctuary of an underground burrow, the young prairie dogs have recently emerged to explore their surroundings, delighting visitors with their playful antics. Zoo director Stephan Hering-Hagenbeck notes the distinctive black-tipped tails that lend the prairie dogs their name, a feature clearly visible even in the youngest members of the colony.
As the young prairie dogs frolic under the watchful gaze of their elders, zoo authorities reassure visitors about the shedding of their fur, a natural process occurring twice a year. Folko Balfanz, head of the zoological department at Schonbrunn Zoo, emphasizes that while the animals may appear slightly disheveled during this transition, there is no cause for concern.
Addressing common misconceptions, Balfanz distinguishes between prairie dogs and meerkats, highlighting their differing habitats, diets, and behaviors. While meerkats are native to Africa and primarily insectivorous predators, prairie dogs inhabit North America, subsisting mainly on plant matter. Despite these disparities, both species share the instinct to stand upright, a behavior essential for scanning the surroundings for potential threats.
