Notes to answerer
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.
