Might Be Pregnant Think?
It is fairly unusual for a Pronghorn of any sex to walk toward the camera directly. This one is a doe. I can count on one hand the number of images I have even similar to this posture. She was literally walking directly toward me for some distance. Must be near sighted…
I would indicate though that if there isn’t triplets in there, I’d say she is going to have quads. This might be the biggest “Fastest” land animal in North America. She might have been a little not fast enough last fall. I will tell you with certainty that she is not as quick as she was last year before that Buck got involved. I’m not sure if she is aware of the fact that that “coat makes her butt look big”. I’m not going to tell her. One has to maintain appropriate relationships with my photographic subjects after all.
I see so many Pronghorn each year I can’t keep track of individual does but this one seems familiar with me anyway. She looks pretty scraggly but that is only because she is shedding in clumps of fur. They usually have big chunks of hair off their back as going under barbed wire fences at 30 mph has it’s draw “backs”. I’ve seen those scars get infected before but it’s not that common such that it kills them from it.
