  One of your strengths is that you have a quick pace of talking with a lot of information almost in one breath, that’s why is so nice to hear you explain

  I have gotten to the point that I feel the need to thank youtubers who are actually real people and not AI.  Yes, I appreciate your content - we have some excellent mammal beds in Oregon, and I do love pronghorns.  I love that you're a real person who looks like a real person and speaks like a real person.  Keep the content coming!

  That was interesting!  Something you brought up but we never really think about is different eye placement in animals - whether it's insects or fish or birds or domestic or wild animals, they have eye placement that varies by specific survival need.

  If the dwarf pronghorn is anything like the modern pronghorn it would not take much of a net or brush barrier to stop or re-direct them. Pronghorn  won't jump a standard barbwire cattle fence like a mule deer or whitetail will, the tend either to follow it to a gap(which fences usually don't have) or will try to crawl under it.  Pronghorn are great runners but not very nimble or acrobatic.

  Same logic should be used for the wooly mammoth on wrangler island, it's highly unlikely that we have the fossil for the last known specimen,  who knows how long they were around

  American Giant Cheetah: Miracinonyx Inexpectatus. I have a jaw in my own collection, as well as a Dwarf pronghorn ossicone.

  When I listen to scientist making declarations I suggest the caveat* <i>~as we understand at this time~</i>

  If Dwarf Pronghorn survived for so long what was the primary cause for their extinction. They survived the late Pleistocene extinctions and had plenty of time to adapt to human hunting pressures. Was it a restrictive range, low reproduction, did natives purposefully seek out these animals? I would love to hear your opinion on this.

  The American mountain goat is not closely related to giraffes and okapis. Only the pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) is related to giraffes. They made genetic tests to prove it!
