Prairie dog tries and fails to catch fly

  • 7 years ago
This the moment a fly is caught annoying a cute black-tailed prairie dog from Twycross Zoo in Warwickshire, England.

Standing perfectly still, the fly is whizzing around the Prairie dog.

When the fly lands on the dog’s fur, it looks like it might have managed to catch the fly and eat it.

However, if you look closely - watch the slowed down bit at the end of the video - and the fly gets away. The prairie dog doesn’t seem to want to admit to it and pretends to eat it in any case, chomping at thin air.

The video was filmed on September 19.
