      It really seems to be. I think it's deft how the narrator made light of their celebratory call. Yes, that is their cry of happiness, rather, they were celebrating the vacancy of the predator.

    Prairie dogs are actually one of the quintessential components of the prairie. Without it, they tend to die off, as seen in America as they were trying to hunt them to extinction as "vermin".
