You never answered me when I first asked this: exactly what species are these? To me, they look like a sub-species of deer or elk...but I could be way off Please3 enlighten me when time permits...thanks
Pronghorn antelope. Antilocapra americana. When I was in high school, there was a herd of them that roamed around the school grounds -- back then it was brand new and built on the edge of town. They started off shy, but within a decade, you could almost walk right up to one.
thank you Shaudawn - I live in the west coast rainforest & have never encountered one of these...now I have a reference to do a quick look-up on Wikipedia...
I was planning on taking the family to Yellowstone again this year, maybe work our way all the way to Olympic. Now I'm not sure what I want to plan on.
North Cascades is breathtaking went a couple years ago and went over to San Juan Islands and camped. Rounding down to Olympic NP and down through West Coast to SF camping and swimming along the way.
Fabulous! It’s a little different than the other two. I haven’t come to appreciate it and adore it as much as Rainier and Olympic, but I’ll keep trying until I do.
When I was in high school, my cross-country running friends & I would run over the Montana prairie chasing pronghorn. We never caught them, of course, but we could run together. May our children get the same chance.
I heard the frog song from the drainage ditch in my neighborhood the other night and honestly I just cried in my backyard about it. Our world is so beautiful and (the collective) we are treating her so poorly.
I love Pronghorns! I had only seen 1 briefly at the NNSS while on a tour but Yellowstone was the first place I saw herds with young ones and it was spectacular.
I see where you going, but we have to bear in mind that when T_Rex & his kind, when mammoths, roamed the earth; they must have thought they were masters of the universe. Where are they now? We humans think we are a big deal; but we’re not. When it’s time, the earth will burp over us & move on.
They're why I cry the most over what's happening. They have no choice, no voice. They have us to decide for them & we are not up to the task. They are what I cry over the most & the loudest. THE MORE TRUMP PEOPLE ADVANCE, THE MORE NATURE DOESN'T STAND A CHANCE. Put it on a fucking bumpersticker.

Figured it out.
Best vacation of my life.
The graphics in Oregon Trail were better than I thought!
We could and should reduce the amount of livestock and allow the natural world to recover.
Womankind yes … mankind no
