Discover what it sounds like when you go down a prairie dog burrow … and encounter a nest full of pups!
I’d tried doing this by putting a small mic on the end of a flexible fishing pole and inserting it down a burrow … but prarie dogs make lots of sharp turns in their tunnels so that didn’t work.
Then I got the chance to record in a burrow specially prepared for a BBC filming project - the camera crew’s attempt to get video failed, but I captured these wonderfully intimate and never-before heard sounds.
