Join Professor Valerius Geist and photography Michael Francis as they salute the pronghorn antelope, the little brother of the American bison. This swift, smart, beautiful animal is the last survivor of North America's original large mammals.
Val Geist of Calgary tells the fascinating story of the pronghorn, which has preserved through harsh and constant threats. If the pronghorn had not survived, the Great Plains today would be without a plains-adapted big-game animal.
Geist's extensive biological and archaeological knowledge offers a unique, awe-inspiring look at the magnificent animal. Geist's story-telling ability captures all the science, history and beauty the pronghorn has to offer.
More than 100 of Francis' colorful images captures the allure of the prairie and the heart of pronghorn country. Travel west with Geist and Francis. You'll soon understand why so many volunteers worked so hard to keep the prairies a place where the pronghorn can thrive and enthrall.
