At just a few days old and on his first adventure outside of his underground burrow home, it's little wonder that this tiny prairie dog pup overindulged on tasty snacks and needed to lie down.
刚出生没几天,第一次从地上的洞穴家里出来外面探险,也难怪这只小小的草原土拨鼠会吃太多美味的“零食”,撑到不得不躺在地上。

Surrounded by fresh fruit and vegetables that were almost as big as them, the pup and his siblings weren't shy in tucking in to their lunch while out playing with their mother.
在这只小家伙和他的兄弟姐妹旁边,散落着新鲜的水果和蔬菜,个头几乎和它们一样大。它们当然不会害羞,午餐可是要好好大吃一顿的。这些小草原土拨鼠是跟妈妈一起出来玩。

Two of the siblings even nibbled on the same lettuce leaf as they enjoyed their healthy meal.
在享受这顿营养的午饭时,我们甚至看到有两个小家伙在啃同一片生菜叶子。

Animal loving photographer Jen Lockridge spent more than an hour watching the pups play with their mother at Maryland Zoo in Baltimore.
照片是由动物摄影爱好者Jen Lockridge 在巴尔的摩的马里兰动物园拍摄而成,他花了一个多小时观看这些小土拨鼠和妈妈一起嬉戏的场景。

Jen, from Annapolis, Maryland, said: 'I was amused to watch the younger pups sitting in the exhibit surrounded by animal chow that was almost bigger than them. The prairie dogs are fun to watch as they are very active and clever.'
Jen来自马里兰的安纳波利斯,他表示:“看着这些小家伙坐在那些食物中间,食物的个头几乎比它们还要大,感觉特别有意思。观察草原土拨鼠很有趣,因为它们非常活跃也非常聪明。”
