When something loud happens in an office with an "open floor plan" and everyone's heads pops up over their cubicle dividers to see what's going on, like a bunch of prairie dogs.
Did you guys see when John suddenly dropped that whole tray of coffees and everyone was prairie dogging like mad to see what was going on?

When. employees who work in cubicles stand up and look around, to see what's happening -- typically in response to some kind of unexpected sound. Visually, this resembles how Prairie Dogs look, when they pop up from their underground tunnels to see what's happening above ground.
As I walked into the office, I noticed everyone prairie dogging to catch a glimpse of the commotion.
