Pronghorns…


One of the first animals we saw “on the hoof” during our recent car trip were the pronghorns  that graze on the plains.  I have always thought that these were a member of the antelope family but I discovered that they are not antelope at all.  They are  distinguished in that they may be the second fastest land animal (to the African Cheetah).  I took this photo of a group not far off of I-70 in Utah.  There were probably about 20 of them in total.
