Why this animal is an endangered
species.
This animal (The Prairie Dog) is an
endangered species because, the
farmers are destroying it’s habitat. The farmers
are digging down deep into the ground to
destroy their den’s and families. The reason
why they are doing this is because the Prairie
Dogs are taking all of the crops that the
farmers had grown.

will not want to take the
crops.
