As a seagull, you flew over the cliff, and see a vast prairie. You start flying forward, looking for a nice place to land. When you landed, you hear a "wahoo!" sound. You look around and see a bunch of furry critters going in and out of burrows, hugging and kissing eachother, and saying "Wahoo!"
This seems very interesting to you, so you entered one of the burrows. All of a sudden, your wings turned into paws, and your feathers turned into sandy fur. Your beak became a rodent's snout. You have become one of these amusing, sociable mammals. You are now a prairie dog.
