After months of planning episode one is finally here. It focus on an idea about evolutionary pressures, mainly why are pronghorn so dang fast. You can follow the link to my soundcloud page ( https://soundcloud.com/user-321587596/episode-one-ghost-predators ) and I also have a facebook page up underpostcast wild. Thank you for listening, and thank you for learning.
