Do Pronghorn pee on the plains?

Apparently the answer to that age old question is yes. 😉 Sorry, I couldn’t resist.

This gal probably didn’t appreciate me snapping pics of her as she did her business but she was out in the open so what choice did I have? Taken in Larimer County, Colorado.

Pronghorn? are what folks oftentimes call antelope (and sing about ala “Home on the Range”) however that is a misnomer. Settlers called these animals antelope due to their similarity to Old World species however the pronghorn is its own, distinct family.
