Ghosts of the Plains
Season 1 Episode 111 | 27m 17sVideo has Closed Captions
Saving the endangered species that call the Great Plains home.
Imagine 30 million Bison and 4 billion Prairie Dogs sharing the plains with us. In only a decade these massive herds were all but extinguished. We look back at the actions of the people in the 19th century in disbelief; how could they do that? But did we learn from their mistakes, or are we doomed to repeat them?
