If you have ever seen prairie dogs at a zoo you will know they are very cute animals. There is, however, a lot more to prairie dogs than just being cute - they are smart and have a language.
During 2009 I will be filming prairie dogs in New Mexico for a BBC Natural World. The programme explores the language of prairie dogs through the work of Professor Con Slobodchikoff.
I am also series producing 10x10 minute programmes on prairie dogs for CBeebies channel.
Both the Natural World and the CBeebies series will be out in the spring of 2010.
