Big Ounce is a beloved prairie dog made famous by the YouTube channel The Urban Rescue Ranch, run by Uncle Ben. Known for his surprisingly stoic personality and recurring death gags where he appears to pass away only to be resurrected in the next frame, Big Ounce has ascended to legendary status in internet culture. Fans often portray him as a war hero, a divine being, or a professional who handles the chaos of the ranch with grace. The meme captures the wholesome yet absurd nature of the channel, turning a small rodent into a larger-than-life figure whose exploits are celebrated across social media platforms like TikTok, Reddit, and Twitter.
