Fleet-footed pronghorns are among the speediest animals in North America. They can run at more than 53 miles (86 kilometers) an hour. They are not as fast as cheetahs but can maintain a fast speed for longer periods of time. When a cheetah has run out of energy a pronghorn is still going.
Herds of pronghorns migrate over 150 miles one way. Their trip is difficult and requires crossing fence lines, private property, and busy roads.
The meal of choice for this speedy herbivore is generally grass, sagebrush, and other vegetation. They digest their food twice. The food passes through their stomach once and then is regurgitated (cud). This process allows the pronghorn to break their food into smaller bits so more nutrients are absorbed.
Pronghorns have large eyes and excellent vision that help them see predators from far away.
In the spring, females give birth to one or two young, which can outrun a human after just a few days.
