Pronghorn
A female pronghorn at the Eddy Ranch in Farson, Wyoming, USA. The pronghorn is a native of western and central North America. It is not an antelope, but it is often referred to as the pronghorn antelope in the USA because of its resemblance to the true antelopes of the Old World. They are among the speediest animals in North America, running at a speed exceeding 53 miles an hour. They can also travel great distances at half that speed. Pronghorns stand at about three feet tall at the shoulders and are reddish brown, with white stomachs and wide, white stripes on their throats.
