Label TextAfter "The Birds of America", Audubon next tackled the mammals of America. Again, Audubon wanted to document all the species he could find. He wanted to show them in their natural habitats. He and his sons produced "The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America".They portrayed four-legged animals that bear their young alive. He viewed Pronghorns during his trip to the Far West in 1843.
