Pronghorn (Antilocapra americana )

Pronghorns (Antilocapra americana) are not antelope, and are not related to the African or Asian antelopes or any other family. They are the last survivors of a once widespread North American family known as Antilocapridae. Many of their ancestors had pronged horns on both the top of the head and on the upper nose.

Adult Pronghorns may be from 4-4 1/2 feet long, 3-3 1/2 feet high, males weigh 100-150 pounds, females 75-100 pounds. They live 5-10 years, breed from September through October, have a gestation period of 7-8 months, and generally 2 fawns born in May or June. Their color is light tan to reddish tan, with white cheek patches on chin, neck, chest, sides and rumps, ears are trimmed with black. Males have a dark patch under the lower jaw. Both males and females have horns; the males are larger. Their pronged horns, which range from 15-19 inches are shed annually. Tracks are 2 3/4 - 3 1/2 inches long and they have no dewclaws. They have glands at the base of each horn, a pair on the lower jaws, one on the croup (upper rump), on the tail, one on each hind leg, and one between each hoof. The North American population is 380,000+.

Pronghorns are an open-plains animal often found in areas of sagebrush, which is one of their main food supplies. They move a lot in search of food and generally go to water once a day, at about the same time every day. They also stay within a defined "home range." For some reason Pronghorns do not jump fences but may crawl through a fence.
