Episode Description

Pronghorns, also called antelope, are one of the coolest animals in Montana.

They have lived in North America since the last ice age when woolly mammoths and cheetahs roamed the region. Those animals are gone, but the pronghorns remain.

For four years Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks scientists, aided by graduate students, conducted a study of eight pronghorn populations across the state. 

Here to tell us more about what the study revealed is Billings Gazette outdoor editor Brett French.
