Pronghorn: North America’s Speed Champion Revisited

Step back into one of our favourite stories from the wild as we revisit the extraordinary pronghorn , one of North America’s most unique and misunderstood mammals. Chris and Angie explore the physiology that makes them the continent’s unrivalled speedsters, trace their deep evolutionary history alongside now-extinct predators, and look at the conservation journey that helped bring their numbers back from the brink. Their story is a powerful reminder of why protecting open landscapes and wildlife corridors matters now more than ever. Tune in to rediscover why pronghorns still hold such an important place in the ecosystems they call home. This episode was first released in January 2021 and wanted to bring them back into the spotlight. =========================================================== Another thank you to all our Patreon supporters.
