Pronghorn Gallery

Pronghorn are the fastest land animal in North America.

Cut To The Quick

I came across this male and a few of his females at the end of the day at Yellowstone's north entrance in Gardiner, Montana. They were browsing in the meadows near the side of the road, a location I’ve seen pronghorn a number of times. The male had some strange rectagular patches of missing fur on his right side, which reminded me of the shaved patch our cat Templeton got when he went in for surgery. You can see the edge of one of the patches in the lower left corner of the picture.

Keeping Track

At the end of the day, a small group of pronghorn were grazing near the side of Highway 89 in the eastern side of the park. There were no adult males in sight at first, but the male on the left came running in to keep an eye on the females, including the one on the right.
