Pronghorns are the fastest land animals in North America, capable of reaching speeds up to 88.5 km/h (55 mph).
Unlike true antelopes, pronghorns shed their horn sheaths annually.
They have a unique circulatory system in their heads that helps cool their brains during intense running.
Pronghorns have large eyes positioned to provide a wide field of view, aiding in predator detection.
They undertake one of the longest land migrations in North America, traveling up to 150 miles between seasonal ranges.
Despite their speed, pronghorns are poor jumpers and prefer to crawl under fences rather than leap over them.
