I've got a feeling that Henry Vilas will add something similar when they rebuild their prairie dog exhibit.

@birdsandbats Very true. If they do build one, I have a feeling it'll be in that open area in the grassy back area near the back of the bison exhibit. They could also build it over the old badger exhibit and loop it over next to the pavilion.

@EsserWarrior Those are the best places, but we have to think about if the Wisconsin prairie dog population will even survive the next few years.

This is right behind a bison exhibit, too. it has prairie dogs as well as a Black-footed Ferret and Gila Monsters inside and there are Elk nearby.

@birdsandbats That's true, there is a high risk that they won't survive. I haven't heard anyone mention them in Wisconsin's private trade either. I think that Peck's in Spring Green may still have a colony.

@EsserWarrior They are around privately in Wisconsin, no idea about the numbers.
