build a prairie dog town. you can t just take them and throw them out in the wilderness. let s go build a prairie dog town. the math is scary. there used to be 400 million prairie docs in this area. that number is down 98%. they re not coming back without help, which is why lynda s got to do it. they are cute, and that is going to help your cause. if they were hideous if this were rats, it would be more difficult, but once they are you tell people they are squirrels, everybody loves them. it is the prairie dog dependent on the prairie. well, no, there s some school of thought that says a healthy prairie has to have prairie dogs. what happened is, we came along and decided that fire was bad so we stopped burning. we eradicated the species in the prairie, and it changed the whole system. is part of the are reason that the whole prairie got out of check is because we stopped putting out of fires? absolutely. when we stopped the fire process, it allowed the mesquites to g
plain, and he can hold his breath, and an instinct that lynda is more than happy to take advantage of. how did you know he was comin coming? u i am good at this. lynda is very good at this. and look at the two right there, darrell, and cut for the nest now. and in other places prairie dogs are considered a pest and experm nated, but in these parts, lynda can sometimes rescue 100 prairie dogs a day. here, just pop it in there, mike. i know that was disruptive. all right. here, hold. he still has suds on the face, and if you want to do that, his buddies are is ogoing to make fun of him. that was a successful run. and i hope you can do it now,
that s plenty, guys. all right. okay. this is the most important part of this whole procedure. she was saying you were a dream to work for. she is a child. she doesn t know any better. and we are all god s children, lynda. and now we are stuffing them with hay and talking about our dreams. yes, i had a dream where my landlord was following me around doing this all day, and he was made out of particle board and he was nude. that is not a scary dream, but very disturbing. i m a little scared. since i quit drinking, leap is an issue at times. you re going to have to convince us you quit drinking. the only thing left, prairie dogs, but remember, this is lynda s world, and she has a few rules. naturally. all right. now we will cease the humor for a moment, and let me think about the next step. you need to pick a cameraman, because if everybody is surrounding us, these prairie
prairie dog. all right, darrell. keep an eye on us. i will. and somebody starts to scream, you start acting. all right. and rather than argue with you, i will do whatever you tell me to do. are you catching the the first one or will i? no, i will, and you will observe the process. you are the tight end and i m the quarterback. you are kind. thank you. let s go. come on now, we are leaving now. and after years of trial and err error, lynda has perfected the technique, and first, spot the prairie dog. creep up to it, and get it, get it now. okay. and then jump out of the moving truck. gl hop out, mike. and a then quietly move the water tank into position, and once it is over the hole, open up the spig got and flood them home. and if you are a prairie dog, you are thinking, what the heck? and don t worry because the prairie dog has adapted to the flooding that the happens in the
descendents of which still roam this park today. i am guess ing thing that we here? we are here. we have now entered lynda s world. and how do you know that you have entered her world? she will tell you. and all right, camera people, when i move these cage, do not get near me. mike and i will move them, and you stay back. that is what we do. in a little while it is going to be highly amusing, because mike and i will get them out of the cage, and paybacks come, because they are going to try very hard to hurt us. i assume they are biting? they bite and claw and they are scared and wild animals, and that is to me more important than you guys, so. i believe her. oh,le with, i will hurt you over one of these. i believe it. i really will. you better believe it. and at this point, it is every man for himself. somebody s gotta do it with mike rowe is brought to you
