During our recent trip to the Tetons and Yellowstone, we encountered a herd of 14 pronghorn outside the North Entrance at Gardiner, Montana. This buck seemed to notice the lenses we had aimed at him for photography, so we got this head-on shot.
Pronghorn are unique to North America. Like other horned animals, their horns have bone at their core, but unlike others ungulates, their horns are covered in sheaths that they shed every year, much like antlered animals shed their antlers annually.
Pronghorn are the fastest land mammals in North America capable of hitting 55 miles per hour.
Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story.
