Just in case you are ever heading through the middle of Kansas on I-70 and it’s a nice summer day and you have the urge to spend $8 to see the WORLD’S LARGEST PRAIRIE DOG– I suggest you do it.
It will at the very least give you a topic of conversation for the next few hours as you drive the rest of the way through Kansas. It gave me one of the most horrifying experiences of my life.

After being on the road from Denver for a solid 4ish hours, Prairie Dog Town was a welcomed adventure…

We arrived and saw all the cute little prairie dogs running around the grounds…

Aww how cute a momma and baby prairie dog together…

Then, “Oh My God! What is going on!? Did she just jump the baby?”…

…nothing good can come of this…

The baby was left decapitated and the momma went back into its hole.

In the foreground is the bloody headless baby prairie dog, and its mother.

Needless to say- I was absolutely horrified.

But we paid good money to see the WORLDS LARGEST PRAIRIE DOG, so we continued on…

pretty typical western Kansas

Roscoe the Miniature Donkey was awesome

Six legged cow and the only other people at Prairie Dog Town

Wild Turkeys are pretty sweet

Just in case you ever wanted to see a Green Mutant

I’m not sure what about this bird makes it a green mutant.  I suppose it does have a faint green glow around it.

buffalo are also pretty sweet, and delicious from what I hear

Then came the reason for me begging to go to Prairie Dog Town during the entire 5 day trip…

Me and the WORLDS LARGEST PRAIRIE DOG

I’m sorry, I know I just ruined all the fun of driving through western Kansas and wondering what the
WORLDS LARGEST PRAIRIE DOG looks like, but come on- its totally awesome.

It’s made from concrete, and sources have told me that it didn’t used to be painted.

So worth the money, mainly because I did not pay for it.
