A litter of black-tailed prairie dog pups have begun to emerge from their burrows at the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore, footage released on May 11 shows.

Female prairie dogs usually have one litter of three to four pups each year. The pups are born blind and hairless, leaving them totally reliant on their parents for survival.

Footage released by the zoo shows the pups emerging from their underground burrows and taking some unsteady steps under the watchful eyes of their elders. Credit: The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore via Storyful
