Pronghorn

Distinguished by its large white rump and slightly curved black horns, the pronghorn inhabits open sagebrush prairies. America's swiftest mammal, the pronghorn, or more commonly called antelope, is a very curious animal. Not only is this animal capable of maintaining a speed of 70 mph, but pronghorn can cover 20 feet in a single leap!
