association the ferrets have with the black-tailed prairie dog (C. ludovicianus), Gunnison’s prairie dog (C. gunnisoni), and white-tailed prairie dog (C. leucurus) (USFWS, 2013).

Come on now, even the nursery rhyme The Farmer in the Dell knows that the dog takes the cat, who takes the rat, who takes the cheese.
