To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For a full account of this animal we are indebted to Captain Marcy, who says : " These gregarious and interesting little animals, called ' prairie-dogs, ' or more properly the ' prairie marmots, ' are found assembled in communities or villages throughout most of our extreme western prairies, from the Missouri River to the Rio Grande, and have often been described by travellers ; but as there are some facts connected with them, which I have never seen mentioned, I will add a few remarks to what ...has already been said. " These animals, in selecting a site or position for their towns 'or warrens, generally choose a very elevated and level spot upon the open prairie, which has induced me to suppose that they do not require water that element without which most other animals soon perish. I have often seen their towns upon the table lands of New Mexico, at a distance of ANIMALS OF NORTH AMERICA. 71 twenty miles from any water upon the surface of the ground, and where it did not seem probable that it could be obtained by excavation ; and as there is seldom any rain or dew upon these elevated mesas during the summer months, and as they do not wander far from their burrows, I think I am warranted in coming to the conclusion that they require no other aqueous sustenance than that which they receive from the short grass which constitutes their food.
