2306_0329 Born to Run

The Pronghorn, North America's fastest mammal, has extra-large lungs and heart to pump oxygen and blood through its system and enable it to sustain high speeds across the open prairie. And the northern prairie this year is spectacularly green. We had a good amount of rain in May and June, on top of the meltwater from a decent winter snow pack. Haven't seen it this green for a few years!

 

This Pronghorn buck is galloping through a crop field - not wheat, maybe canola. Running effortlessly. Born to run.
