Interim: Our team of three has divided up different ways of gathering information about prairie dogs among us.
GATHERED INFORMATION
There are different kinds of prairie dogs. In our area we have to of the species. Black-tip prairie dogs which are named for the black color on the tip of their tails. The other type of prairie dog looks exactly the same without the black tip on their tails. Prairie dogs do not hibernate even though they are mammals. In the winter, they stay in the ground as long as possible, but come out when they get hungry.
PLAN OF ACTION
We plan to learn the easiest way of getting rid of the prairie dogs or how to relocate the ones that are damaging farmer's crops and other people's yards. We also plan to make a StarLogo presentation representing how quick they spread. We have not yet run into any problems.
EXPECTED RESULTS
We hope that our results for this experiment will be knowledge of how to get rid of, how to relocate, and how to fix damaged areas of land caused by prairie dogs.
