“Prairie dogs increase their fitness by killing off ground squirrel competition. First time behaviour has been seen in a herbivorous mammal.”

>On the hardscrabble lands of the American West, blood is spilled by the most innocent-looking of outlaws—the white-tailed prairie dog.
>These social rodents, native to Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and Montana, ruthlessly bite and thrash Wyoming ground squirrels to death, leaving their bloody bodies to rot, a new study says.
>One prairie dog, nicknamed Killer Supreme, slew nine ground squirrels in a four-year killing spree. Another massacred seven juvenile ground squirrels in a single day.
>But tellingly, white-tailed prairie dogs don’t eat their kills.
>“They’re killing for the sake of killing—not killing to achieve some nutritional benefit," says Orrock, who wasn’t involved with the study.
One scientist knows the wisdom of the steppe mammal:
> “For four months every year, we live like prairie dogs,” says Hoogland, a National Geographic grantee. “We get to the colony early in the morning before the prairie dogs wake up, we sit in towers all day watching what they do, and we stay until the last prairie dog submerges, just around sunset.”
>“It seems to me is that there are major, major benefits to killing these ground squirrels.
So, how do I get /prairiedog/?
EXERCISE:
>Digging holes
Do not forget proper shovel technique! It’s important to perfect the right stance and form, to avoid physical injury and maximize gains from tearing up the earth.
>Primal Hunting
This is the art of hunting small game with one’s bare hands. It teaches coordination and mental discipline. This is like a martial art, lost to the ages. All PDs strive towards their perfect future self, or Killer Supreme.
