Note from asker:
Ola teresa! no texto "coteries" são subdivisões das colónias: In nature, prairie dogs live in large and complex social groups referred to as towns, which may cover many acres. Towns are subdivided into colonies or wards; these are further subdivided into distinct social family units called coteries. Coteries usually consist of an adult male, 1 to 4 adult females, and any offspring less than 2 years old. |

complex social groups referred to as towns,
which may cover many acres. Towns are
subdivided into colonies or wards; these are
further subdivided into distinct social family
units called coteries. Coteries usually
consist of an adult male, 1 to 4 adult
females, and any offspring less than 2 years old.
