Every few years headlines about a plague-infected squirrel or similar make the rounds and are met with some panic. But plague had never truly left us. It survives in wild rodent populations, but human cases are very rare (usually less than a dozen a year in the US). They mostly occur in the American Southwest but east of the Rockies, Prairie Dogs are a major reservoir.
The old advice still holds up: Keep your distance from wildlife - even if they are as cute and unafraid as prairie dogs, squirrels, and chipmunks.

Humans aren't the only ones appreciating the paths the buffalos walk in the Badlands: This magnificent Prairie Rattlesnake found it quite convenient, too. Fortunately, it warned us off in time - we stepped aside and let it pass.
Apparently, an unleashed dog at the campground ran off into the grass and got bitten. It had to be taken to an emergency vet to receive antivenom (an hour drive away - nothing is close out here!)

Prairie encounter: Juniper Hairstreak. Like it's name suggests, the larvae of this small butterfly feed on the young growth of various junipers and pines.
