People who romanticise a wild life for animals as being so free and wonderful forget that this is how a wild animal ends their life; either fast and violently or growing slowly weaker, with no-one to ease the pain. I'm glad you could provide Mama with a safe place to raise her baby that bit more, and hope Junior can make it. Run free Mama!

And what a privilege to be a part of that. Thank you for sharing it all with us. <br />And for other thoughts rambling around in my head as I read this post: you're jogging?? In the NM summer??

You don't see stuff like this in the city! Junior knows where to come if he is scared or needs help in the future. Mama sensed your ranch would protect him until he could join other pronghorns. This rather reminds me of Bambi (that movie still has me in hysterical tears when Fala passes away). <br />kippyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11715389823789274487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4771557388430184941.post-87656610881705865102014-07-27T08:52:59.574-06:002014-07-27T08:52:59.574-06:00LC, I'm sure Junior was taking all you had to ...LC, I'm sure Junior was taking all you had to say into account.

After a few days he said, "These guys look kinda funny, no horns or anything normal." Then he moseyed on & found some pronghorns with plenty of room for another little guy. Hope he comes by to say hey sometime! You gave him a safe start in tough circumstances for him.

It's interesting that the dad kept coming back to check - I wonder if the other adult pronghorn was an auntie called in for an opinion? (Dad: "So.....do you think he is big enough to come along with the herd now?" Auntie: "Let's give him a few more days. We can come back for him Thursday morning").

Animals are so much smarter than we give them credit for. Our house has been designated by all the deer as the safe place. They bring their babies up to the house to stay during the day while they are out foraging. I too hope that junior met up with a heard now that he is on his own. Bet he will stop by in the future. Thanks for the update. <br />Lisa G in TN Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728706090301639881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4771557388430184941.post-41444744757292964492014-07-27T05:44:28.979-06:002014-07-27T05:44:28.979-06:00I hope that after a respectful time, and enough de...I hope that after a respectful time, and enough desert sun and scavenging, you and Lucy will come across Mama and she will become part of your bone herd.
