hi friends today I was traveling on
highway 45 I encountered this wonderful
scene of pronghorns.  such an
iconic Prairie species.
In 1900 there were near extinction but the conservation and management of pronghorns
has been successful, for that we are
thankful to authorities.
rigorous protection and reintroduction
have made them common in the western US
southeastern Saskatchewan and
southeastern Alberta
large groups of pronghorn can often get
stuck trying to cross highways either by
heavy traffic or by fence that they
are unable to squeeze under.
Pronghorns unlike deer won't jump fence
each year thousands of drivers collide
with wildlife
migration season is one of the worst
time of the year for animal vehicle collisions
Pronghorn migration routes
are not exactly seamless they are broken
up by highways and other human
infrastructure to reduce these deadly
and costly accidents and to protect
wildlife authorities need to develop
wildlife crossings on highways, bridges
and underpasses for wildlife to safely
cross the highway without risk to
motorists
