I find it especially fascinating that the "Domestic Dog!" predator-alarm-call resembles more the "Human!" predator-alarm-call than it does the "Coyote!" predator-alarm-call.

Humans & Dogs smell the same to Prairie dogs (?). Or humans and dogs galumph aimlessly in the same sort of way, more so than the very directed snuffling of the coyote.




The Prairie dogs at the zoo sure stop chirping when the keeper throws them raw pumpkin chunks.

And, apparently, rats can laugh.
