Devils Tower National Monument
Animals
Wildlife is abundant at Devils Tower National Monument. Wildflowers, sedges and occasional shrubs provide food and habitat for mammals, birds, reptiles, insects, and amphibians.  Black-tailed prairie dogs make their home in the soft alluvial soil along the river.  Even the Tower provides homes for swallows, rock doves, and chipmunks.
