A Race to the Finish 6423
I think that Pronghorn are some of the most elegant ungulates in North America. Elegance isn’t their only noteworthy characteristic, however. These long-legged antelope-like creatures are also the fastest land mammal in on the continent, reaching speeds of over 55 miles per hour. Unlike so many other herbivores and mammals of the past, Pronghorn have survived ice ages and mass extinction events, remaining virtually unchanged for over 30,000 years. Now in steady decline, a race is on to determine what is leading to the eventual obliteration of a race of creatures that was so hearty. It’s a race that the fastest mammal on this continent can’t afford to lose. #Pronghorn.
