Download or read book Built for Speed written by John A. Byers and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North America’s fastest mammal, the pronghorn can accelerate explosively from a standing start to a top speed of 60 miles per hour—but it can also cruise at 45 miles per hour for many miles. What accounts for the speed of this extraordinary animal, a denizen of the American outback, and what can be observed of this creature’s way of life? And what is it like to be a field biologist dedicating twenty years to studying this species? In Built for Speed, John A. Byers answers these questions as he draws an intimate portrait of the most charismatic resident of the American Great Plains. The National Bison Range in western Montana, established in 1908 to snatch bison from the brink of extinction, also inadvertently rescued the largest known remnant of Palouse Prairie. It is within this grassland habitat—home to meadowlarks, rattlesnakes, bighorn sheep, coyotes, elk, snipe, and a panoply of wildflowers—that Byers observes the pronghorn’s life from birth to death (a life often as brief as four days, sometimes as long as fifteen years) and from season to season. Readers will also experience the vicarious pleasures of a biologist who is eager to race a pronghorn in his truck, scrutinize bison dung through binoculars, and peer through the gathering dusk of a rainy evening to count the display dives of snipe. A vivid and memorable tale of a first-rate scientist’s twenty-year encounter with a magnificent animal, the story of the pronghorn is also a reminder of the crucial role we can play in preserving the fleeting life of the native American grassland.

Reeves explore the fascinating relationship of pronghorn with people in early America, from prehistoric evidence through the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876. The only one of fourteen pronghorn-like genera to survive the great extinction brought on by human migration into North America, the pronghorn has a long and unique history of interaction with humans on the continent, a history that until now has largely remained unwritten. With nearly 150 black-and-white photographs, 16 pages of color illustrations, plus original artwork by Daniel P. Metz, Prairie Ghost: Pronghorn and Human Interaction in Early America tells the intriguing story of humans and these elusive big game mammals in an informative and entertaining fashion that will appeal to historians, biologists, sportsmen and the general reader alike.

This book was released on 2017-07-26 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pronghorn Antelope, and Its Management Where rolls the oregon. Since the first west ward surge of heavy tides of human migrations on the North American Continent, these words have stamped themselves indelibly in the memories of many. They imply vastness and far-reaching isolation. Traditionally, the word, Ore gon connotes a frontier. Today much of central and south eastern Oregon is as primitive as when the first vagaeros drifted up from the California ranges. An era of land settle ment began in Oregon in 1840 and extended to 1880, fol lowed by expansion from the nuclear areas first occupied. During this era of exploitation, the wildlife resources of the state were depleted and several forms are now gone, perhaps never to return.
