简介：The prairie dog is the response of the United States to the weasel - small in size, sociable, and particularly cute. This alternative film, narrated by Rob Brydon, takes us to the wild West, where prairie dogs live in a vast colony known as a "town.". Just like meerkats, they look funny, but prairie dogs are not just cute - they can talk. For 30 years, Professor Con Slobodchikoff has been recording their calls to predators such as coyotes, eagles, and badgers. He believes he has discovered a language with complexity second only to humans. This is a bold proposition, but is he right? Con designed a series of clever field experiments to help prove his point.
