There isn't much to see when entering the eastern part of Badlands National Park, but a giant prairie dog is there to send you off. (Or, he is there to say hello if you are just entering the park)
The dog has been around since 1959; the date was scratched into the sculpture. It checks in at an impressive six tons. That's a lot of prairie dog.
There is a prairie dog village just off the parking lot. The souvenir store, which has a variety of items, will sell you food for the dogs.
Thanks to Roadside America for the tip.
