A prairie dog skull is the skull of a small herbivorous rodent belonging to the squirrel family, not a canine. The skull is relatively small, measuring approximately 6.2 cm (2.4 in.) in length, and possesses several distinguishing features, including high post-orbital processes for muscle attachment. As "living fossils," prairie dog skulls show conserved features that have changed little since the Oligocene epoch, making them useful for studying evolutionary history.
