Mice straight up go on missions and no body talks about it

okay, to the average person's credit, prairie dogs and marmots at least share a tribe: Marmotini. this tribe also includes chipmunks and other ground squirrels, including some wacky characters like the distinctly patterned Ictidomys family:

...and Sciurotamias, the rock squirrel* family!! rock on, little dude!!!!

✨️🐭✨️

now groundhogs, as we all know, are marmots (family Marmota), the family which shares its tribe's etymological root.

a prairie dog resembles a marmot (vaguely), but they have their own family!! and it's Cynomys!! Which is derived from Greek for dog mouse. you gotta admit, that thing is pretty dogmouse.

anyways, i'm trying to assess the subspecies of the guy from the meme. it's not the White-Tailed Prairie Dog, who has a nifty dark coloration on its face and stuff.

my guess would be... Black-Tailed? idk, someone smart and observant help. ok bye
