Trivia Time! How do prairie dogs greet each other?

The Answer? It may look like they are kissing, but they are actually touching their front two teeth together!  These little mammals are quite territorial and this type of greeting helps them to identify members of their family group.

Congratulations to Juliann Jakeman of Kansas State University for being the first to correctly answer this issue's question!
