A very curious, very pretty Pronghorn

While her elders behind her ignored the guy with the big camera, this gorgeous young one was most interested in what I was doing.

I find these animals thoroughly fascinating. They seem like something that would be more likely to be found in the African Serengeti than the Great Plains of North America.

Pronghorn are the fastest land animal in the Western Hemisphere and second in the world only to the Cheetah. They can sprint at speeds up to 60mph and run for extraordinarily long distances at slower speeds.

Taken in Larimer County, Colorado.
