"Oh give me a home, where the buffalo roam and the deer and the antelope play..."  But there were not actually buffalo or antelope roaming or playing.  You can learn more about bison and pronghorn - the ones that were roaming and playing with the deer on this episode of the Dispatches from the Forest Podcast!
