Pronghorn

I have been going out in the evenings trying to find owls to photograph. Barn Owls and Short-eared owls often fly at dusk this time of year. No luck with owls thus far but I did run into this nice little band of Pronghorn. They are my favorite animal. They look so exotic for the sagebrush steppe. Like something that would be more at home in Africa. Their huge eyes and unique colors make them a beautiful contrast on the drab winter landscape.

  1. They are stockier and more robust than gazelles and were definitely built for a colder climate. Still, they wouldn’t look out of place in an African landscape. 🙂

    1. Good observations! They evolved alongside cheetahs. The cheetahs of North America died out of course and here the Pronghorn are the undisputed fastest animal on the continent. 🙂
