I knew they were predators but I didn’t actually grasp at how much of a predator they were until one day a massive rat twice the size of my smallest ferret got inside and lets just say the rat got rekt. I had never seen something that was so small, so cute and so friendly and silly ravage another animal to this extent...Would love to see a tier list of both wild and domestic ferrets/weasels/minks etc :)

      There's an underground mod patch and server that extincts human builds from the Americas and speeds up cycle time. It's called "Mutual" or sometimes "Omaha". I'm sure longer time players of humans will get the reference. Basically, some cougar/puma players are heading out onto the prairies and turning their insane jump stats into running stats.

    I'm a wildlife biologist in an area with pronghorn and one change we've started doing with older barbed wire fences is replacing the typical 4 wire fence with a 3 wire setup that has a smooth wire on the bottom. It still works to keep cows out and is far more pronghorn friendly! Great video as always.

    Last year I had a job surveying birds in the short grass prairies of Colorado. Pronghorns were pretty common and were very curious, I think largely because they knew they were far faster than anything else out there. They would come up pretty close behind me and make a weird and loud bark / grunt noise which could be quite startling! Upon turning around they’d sprint a little bit away and then stop and stare at me as if they were trying to taunt me because they knew I couldn’t catch them! Very cool animals - I’m glad they are getting some love as I feel they’re very under appreciated!

So say the hunters that they will see you from a mile away and not come anywhere near you, but I suppose they're smart enough to know when they're being hunted?

    I’d really like to see a video on the ratites. Despite facing similar problems wherever they live, like the struggle of nesting on the ground, they all face different challenges depending on their specific environment. In particular cassowaries and emus are often praised as ranking above the rest of their family. I think an appropriate title would be something like “Are all ratites low tier?” as I think it’s unfair to lump them all into F tier.

    • @maj84

      I think the ratites get a bad wrap bc of their extreme vulnerability to neck strikes. Also their struggle with lateral movement is a huge barrier . Any medium sized predator build worth its salt could easily take down a ratite despite the risk of a kick.

    These are truly amazing animals. I was driving on a little two-track trail out in the desert one time when a pronghorn buck started trotting alongside, about fifty yards off to my left. I pushed the gas. So did he. Pretty soon we were doing about 35, and he was staying even with me out there in the sagebrush, not even working hard. I dropped the gas again. So did he. Now we're doing 45, I'm bouncing all over on the rough barely-road, and I get the feeling he's just getting started. All of a sudden he got tired of the game and took off. He was just GONE. He must have been doing about 60. Just left me in the dust. What a cool guy.
    Then there are the times I see them when I'm out trail-running. They always stare at me with a facial expression that says, "Aw, how cute."

    Rather than being particularly great in one skill spread they've instead chosen to be very good across multiple stats having higher than average power and speed. By avoiding stat dumping they've given themselves a high but still balanced skillset that I think makes them very noteworthy amongst avian builds.

    Just a minor correction, pronghorns arent in the giraffe family, they're the only living members of antilocapridae. The closest relatives to this family is indeed the giraffidae so you are correct they're more closely related to giraffes than antelopes and other ruminants, but antilocaprids are not actually within the giraffe family itself
    Giraffa is also a genus, Okapia is the genus for okapi and both are in giraffidae.

    pronghorn are literally everywhere in my area. one guy killed 11 on the way to work this winter with his mustang as they were huddled on the highway. and yes, they do absolutely run 60 mph and its impressive to watch. they are also very fun to bowhunt, it is not that hard to get close if you have some ridge lines and thermals on your side. the mountain lions still eat quite a few of them based on the carcasses ive found.

      Did he kill them on purpose?

      @@Mavenger1845I doubt anyone intentionally hunts an animal by totaling their expensive vehicle.

      It would be really cool to get a mountain lion hunting a pronghorn on video, I don't think I've ever seen footage of that.
