Pronghorn Herd against the Rocky Mountains

Image shows a small group or herd of American Pronghorns, trotting along the fenceline. The majestic Rocky Mountains, including Pikes Peak in the background. Image captured early morning, in the late fall near Pueblo Colorado. Graceful creatures, was nice to watch them graze on the native vegetation of prairie grasses. The pronghorn is a unique North American mammal. Its Latin name, Antilocapra americana, means `American goat-antelope,` but it is not a member of the goat or the antelope family and it is not related to the antelopes found in Africa.The pronghorn is a species of artiodactyl mammal indigenous to interior western and central North America.
