Episode 201: Catch the Pronghorn If You Can

Episode 201: Catch the Pronghorn If You Can

We kick off 2021 with an amazing animal that at times defies logic. The Pronghorn Antelope is native to North America but is an incredibly unique hooved animal. Most of its relatives died out at the end of the last Ice Age, but somehow survived. It also is not only one of the fastest land mammals and has many other jaw-dropping adaptations. This is another cant miss episode about a species many often forget about. For one cup of "good" coffee a month you can support your favorite podcast on Patreon and give back to conservation.
