Description

Pronghorn antelope are an odd lot.

They're not antelope, but leftovers from an ancient group of ungulates (some of which had horns growing out of their noses), who were primarily preyed upon by the now-extinct North American Cheetah. Which goes a long way towards explaining what it's doing with a sprinting speed of 65 mph on a continent where the fastest carnivore can only manage 40mph on a good day (quick! guess what it is and win a cookie!).

This particular guy looks like he's gotten through a few bad scrapes himself.

When were you in South Dakota? I was there a few weeks ago... like August 5th through the 10th. I saw a lot of antelope as well, but none of my pictures came out as well as this!
