Antilocapra americana
Not a true antelope though it looks like one but share the same family.. These are known for being the fastest land mammal in the western hemisphere and only second to the Cheetah. This is a female which lacks the black jaw and other markings that the male has. It also is lacking the antlers but could still grow but will not have the forward tine of the male. Tan in color with a white rump, sides, breast and facial markings. They are found mostly in the western/central states from Canada to Mexico.
Open plains, prairies and steepes
