| | For the Black-tailed, mating generally occurs in late January, with the young being born in March and April (a gestation period of 28 to 32 days). | | | Prairie Dogs are the most social members of the Squirrel Family and are closely related to ground squirrels, chipmunks and marmots. | | | At this time, yearlings (young from the previous year) and some adults may relocate, leaving the young pups to feel secure both socially and environmentally in the old burrow. |
