Descriptif du lot

The Pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) is one of the most unique animals in the American West, indigenous only to western and central North America. Noted for being the fastest animal native to the continent, able to achieve speeds greater than 50 miles per hour, and for a single herd's migration stretching over 150 miles from Wyoming’s Upper Green River Basin to Grand Teton National Park, the ungulate has long been an animal of interest for inhabitants of the West.
