Dead prairie dog in a plague-infested colony, so I assume Yersinia pestis is the culprit.

Description

ID is just my best guess, corrections very welcome.

Water sample origin: A plastic bucket of decomposing plant matter and rainwater. Water is "fresh" (as in: it's not seawater), and very stagnant.

Most of these observations have corresponding videos to show the organisms' movement patterns.
