I don't understand why these are identified on Zootierliste as being Gunnison's?
The text on Zootierliste translates as:
Signed as "black-tailed prairie dog"

So they are labelled as Black-tailed Prairie Dogs by the zoo itself, and the animal (at least as pictured above) is clearly a Black-tailed Prairie Dog - Gunnison's are one of the white-tailed species.
