Pronghorn Antelope

artiodactyl mammal

Description:

It can run exceptionally fast, being built for maximum predator evasion through running, and is generally accepted to be the fastest land mammal in the Western Hemisphere. The top speed is very hard to measure accurately and varies between individuals; it is variously cited as up to 70 , or 86 km/h (53 mph).It is often cited as the second-fastest land animal, second only to the cheetah.

Habitat:

Down at the end of the road we have former cattle grazing area that backs up to a Federal Wilderness area. We are lucky enough to have Pronghorns raise their young there.
