Prairie Dog Nation

By Sedrick Banteah

Animal: Prairie Dog, Material: Picasso Marble
This offering is sold.

As a keystone species, prairie dogs are important for many ecosystems. Their homes are repurposed by burrowing owls and other wildlife. They also improve soil quality because they mix topsoil and subsoil bringing beneficial nutrients to the surface. Prairie dogs should be revered and not treated as target practice. Reach out to your state Senators and Representatives, letting them know you support prairie dogs. Their animal medicine teaches us how to treat others well. In nature, they identify each other with a kiss. They share resources, helping neighbors and other families to build burrows. They also warn each other of danger. Carved from Picasso marble, Sedrick Banteah's adorable turquoise-eyed prairie dog is upright at about 2" tall, 7/8" wide and 1 1/4" deep.
