REPORT: Prairie Dogs Are Lousy Secret Keepers

According to new research from Pepperdine University, prairie dogs are among the worst at keeping secrets in the entire animal kingdom. The species topped the list of most loose-lipped animals.

“Prairie dogs are loquacious by nature,” said study author Dr. Greg Papprikash. “They love to gossip and they can’t help trading juicy bits of information.  As a result, they’re really crummy at keeping confidences.”

Also in the top five: whales, moths, polecats and arctic puffins.
