A WikiPrairie Dog is a gregarious, industrious, and highly sociable Wikifauna. They like to work in underground burrows building a variety of useful structures. They usually want to work in groups, although not always.

They are always working to help the community by either creating new articles or expanding existing ones, as well as other useful things, such as templates, WikiProjects, help pages, navboxes, and other useful things.
They get along well with almost all WikiAnimals, except occasionally with WikiHarrier-hawks.

WikiPrairie dogs make audible sounds when predators appear, known as alarm-calling. This call alerts their nearby kin. WikiPrairie dogs are loyal to their fellow WikiPrairie dogs, especially in their own WikiProject, and will call more often than those that don't have kin nearby.
