pronghorn

Description:

Pronghorns are the fastest land animal in North America. Pronghorns only live in North America. I spotted this pronghorn in the foothills of Big Horn mountain in Wyoming. It was not happy to see us and took off running and was gone over the hills in minutes. Pronghorns are hoofed animals and related to goats and antelope. They have the body shape of a deer with long legs, short tail and a long snout.

Habitat:

Pronghorns are mainly found in the United States in the Great Plains, Wyoming, Montana, northeast California, southeast Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico. Pronghorns like open plains, fields, grasslands, brush, deserts and basins. This pronghorn was spotted in the foothills of Big Horn Mountain in Buffalo, Wyoming.
