"The California Department of Fish and Game hosted the seventeenth Pronghorn Antelope Workshop at Lake Tahoe from June 4-7, 1996. Eleven state wildlife and three federal (U.S.) agencies were represented at the workshop, along with five universities, three natural history museums/zoos, two livestock operators and various unattached individuals. The Northern American Pronghorn Foundation, Defenders of Wildlife, and the IUCN Antelope Specialist Group were represented at the workshop. Representatives from Mexico also participated in the workshop"--Page 5.
Based on the behavior of American pronghorn antelope--which exhibit certain unexplainable "defense" characteristics--zoologist John A. Byers theorizes the animals' mystifying behaviors evolved in response to dangerous predators of their ancient past. Byers's provocative hypothesis suggests that other species' adaptations also are haunted by ghosts of predators past. 41 photos. 111 line drawings.
