Underappreciated Elegance 3I3120
Getting close to pronghorn isn't always easy. The fastest land mammal in North America is also keenly cautious. They were built to outrun the North America's extinct cheetah like cats. Speed alone would not have been enough to keep them safe. Having arrived before the herd, I sat at the base of a sage and remained as quiet as possible, without overtly trying to hide. The pronghorn took notice but apparently didn't find me to be much of a threat as they continued to graze and browse across the open field, moving slowly in my direction. I truly think that they are some of the most elegant and underappreciated ungulates of the west and I relished the opportunity that they provided me for closer observation.
