pronghorns
Fast American ungulates
Pronghorns is the plural of pronghorn, a swift hoofed mammal native to North American grasslands and deserts.
Despite being called an antelope, pronghorns are not true antelopes—they're the sole surviving member of their own family.
They're the fastest land animal in the Western Hemisphere: We spotted a herd of pronghorns crossing the prairie.
