"A new study of fossilized ankle bones from ancient relatives of the pronghorn revealed that they already had bodies built for fast running more than 12 million years ago. The American cheetah arrived much later."

A mother Pronghorn faces the viewer while a yearling Pronghorn -- probably her offspring -- snuggles under the neck of the mother. The yearling is positioned perpendicular to its mother. The background implies a prairie setting on a bright, sunny day.
As #elegant as they are #fast -- #Pronghorns are the #fastest land #animal in the entire western hemisphere. Unlike #deer or #elk, they #graze any time of day because their 60 mph top speed can't be outrun!

A mother Pronghorn looks towards the viewer as her yearling cuddles under her chin. The yearling is nearly full grown, but still looks to her mother for support. The vegetation is grassy and brown, indicating Autumn.
#Pronghorns are the fastest #land #animals in the western #hemisphere with top speeds of 55 mph (88 km/h)! Despite being #prey, they #graze in daylight as nothing can outrun them.

What’s the big deal flying reindeer! I get my lift from my beautiful eyelashes!! Pronghorn Antelope in flight. #custersp #custerstatepark #mammal #mammals #nature #wildlife #pronghorns #southdakota #nikon
First photo is of a group of four Pronghorn Antelope from a herd of eight who were grazing close to the highway, but started to move away when I pulled off on the shoulder to take a picture.
Second photo of all eight Antelope, as they got spooked by more highway traffic and moved off.
On our trip yesterday, spotted three herds of Pronghorn Antelope migrating from the States. One had about 20 animals. Another of 10 and this one with 8. This was the closest I could get to the smallest herd, before they got spooked by highway traffic.

Pronghorns like these are the actual “antelope” referred to in the classic Americana tune “Home on the Range”. #MeriwetherLewis also admired and wrote about #pronghorns in his expedition journal.

Several Pronghorns run through the snow on a cold winter day. The vegetation is dry and brown. Clumps of snow are flying through the air, having been kicked up by the running Pronghorns.
#Wildlife #Wednesday! I adore #Pronghorns -- the fastest #North #American land #animals, reaching speeds up to 60 mph (90 kph)! 🏃♂️💨 They can’t jump, but have incredible endurance easily outrunning #predators.
