Pronghorn | a 7 Image Story
Pronghorn | a 7 Image Story Pronghorn are an original Native American animals. They are found only in North America. Although often called an antelope, they are not antelope. They belong to a family of their own; one of a kind. Pronghorn are symbolic of the grasslands and The Great American Prairie .
They are renowned for being North America’s fastest land animal; running at speeds over 50 mph. Actually, pronghorn is also the second fastest land animal in the world after the cheetah. Although the cheetah is a bit faster, pronghorn can run at high speeds much longer than the cheetah. Some Pronghorn herds migrate over 150 miles between Wyoming’s Upper Green River Basin and Grand Teton National Park; the longest land migration in the continental United States.
These images were captured in the Badlands, Yellowstone NP, and Montana ranches. These beautiful and graceful Pronghorn herds freely roam the ranches of many western states much of the year. In the late afternoon fall light, they blend with the dry grassland. Sometimes, they even find a small buddy to share the prairie.
Each image will be posted individually this week with a bit more narrative under category Pronghorn.
