    I think perhaps that these guys are prairie dogs? Woodchuck's ears look different - they've got a more defined auricle, while these guys have almost none. Posted 9 years ago

    It looks like a Cynomys, but which species? What colour is the tail?

The Black-tailed prairie dog

The black-tailed prairie dog is a rodent of the family Sciuridae found in the Great Plains of North America from about the United States-Canada border to the United States-Mexico border. Unlike some other prairie dogs, these animals do not truly hibernate. The black-tailed prairie dog can be seen above ground in midwinter.
