The Pronghorn migration is one of the oldest traditions in American history. What do you think about the modern obstacles these pronghorns face on their journeys?

[@rydag11]

Nat Geo WILD I think that there’s not much of the animal world left that humans haven’t screwed up

[@perspellman]

Many Pronghorns make a seasonal roundtrip migration of up to 500 kilometers, where they meet roads, fencing and other agriculture or industry hinders. There are built some animal pass under tunnels, and probably some pass over bridges that are easier to get by. A recent fencing modification project in Wyoming spent more than $6,500 per kilometer of fencing to make the fences more permeable to pronghorn. Still, it's nowhere near enough.

[@perspellman]

There are an estimated 1.000.000 Pronghorns in the US today, with around half of them in Wyoming. Back in the mid 1800's there probably were around 50 million. Together with even more Buffalo they roamed the great plains and mountain valleys, but a reckless hunt brought both species close to extinction.

50 million...lol...Yaa right😂

[@perspellman]

@@SilverJunkie-ls4ub - So, having a trolly day again or just got to be the usual twitch, instead of making a positive contribution. The lowest estimate for the Pronghorn population before the Euro Americans hunt destroyed it, is 35 million or more. Several estimates suggest some 50 million.

@@SilverJunkie-ls4ub are you one of those people who believe that there are not over 7 billion people on this earth

We need to do more as aware humans to provide these beings easy access to and thru areas.

I love animals

[@foolnfish]

Nice Nat Geo didn't call the Pronhorn an Antelope! Seems very few people know there are no Antelope in North America!

[@sethb9545]

Wyoming is pretty good at fixing these problems so this is no exception They are on it lowering fences or making gaps . I seen them do this for the deer migration so why should this be any different GO WYOMING !!!!

[@gigas81]

Fastest animal in the western hemisphere! some old cars can't keep up with them!

[@henzcarltupas328henzcarltu2]

The second fastest animal after the Cheetah; The Pronghorn
