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.

Ponderosa pine tree where porcupine has eaten bark

Did You Know?
Porcupines spend a good deal of their lives stripping off the outer bark of trees to expose and eat the cambrium layer. You can see many examples of this at Devils Tower when you walk along the Tower Trail.
