The buck of the pronghorn herd, given that name by my daughter-in-law. He is staying back in protection mode so the does and youngsters can run ahead. The interesting pronghorn (not sheep, not antelope) can form herds of thousands migrating up and down the North American grasslands. The herd local to the area where my son's family lives is a few hundred, but breaks up into smaller groups of a few dozen in Spring/Summer. Great information about

One of the family dogs came home with a pronghorn leg, recently. Most likely killed by coyotes, but possibly a wolf. None of their dogs could have run fast enough to catch one - they are far beyond the abilities of a domestic dog!

This does look very distinctive, I would never have known what it was exactly.

I think they're kind of eerie looking. Or, very primitive. Something like that.

Yes, primitive! *smile*
