    Ok, serious question: What animal is this?
    http://img49.imageshack.us/img49/738...drodent1bp.jpg

    I seriously don't know what it is and I don't know how to find out. I've been having an argument with a friend, I thought it was a squirrel or a chipmunk, but it's not. So what the heck?

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    That would be a Prairie dog

    are small, stout-bodied, burrowing rodents with shallow cheek pouches native to the grasslands of North America.

    An average prairie dog's size is 12 to 16 inches (30 to 40 cm) long. In the United States, prairie dogs are primarily found west of the Mississippi River, but they have been introduced into a few eastern locales.

    Prairie dogs are highly social animals which live in large towns formed by single families of one male and 2 to 4 females. They have up to 4 pups, one time a year, which are born blind and without fur and need about 30 days of close nurturing by their mother. Recent research indicates that prairie dogs have relatively sophisticated vocal communication abilities, including many of the characteristics of language.

    Could it be Mongoose? I have seen that pic before a few times, and I've also been wondering what species it might be.

    Edit: Well, leave it to DF...

    Thanks a bunch Deadfire, you're always a good source of knowledge. Now I'm gonna go put a stupid argument to rest.
