Describe how the behavior of prairie dogs secure the survival of their offspring.

Prairie dogs create a safe home for their young by creating underground burrows.

Prairie dogs create a safe home for their young by creating underground burrows, which protect them from hailstorms, blizzards, floods, droughts, and fires. The burrow contains many different chambers, including a nursery that is very deep underground. This protects the young from predators as well as changes in the temperature outside. The burrows even include observation posts where they can watch for predators.
