Answer:

sample response: Prairie dogs create a safe home for their young by creating underground burrows, which protect them from hailstorms, blizzards, floods, droughts, and fires. The burrow contains many different chambers, including a nursery that is very deep underground. This protects the young from predators as well as changes in the temperature outside. The burrows even include observation posts where they can watch for predators.

This behavior helps the prairie dog from being prey upon by coyote.
Prairie dogs live in burrow and they normally do not move much away from their burrows. When they sense danger they will dash quickly back into their burrows. This behavioral adaptation protect them from predators.
