About Pronghorn (Antilocapra americana)

  • Kingdom: Animals
  • Phylum: Chordates
  • Class: Mammals
  • Order: Even-toed Ungalates and Cetacean
  • Family: Antilocapridae

The pronghorn is a species of artiodactyl mammal indigenous to interior western and central North America. Though not an antelope, it is known colloquially in North America as the American antelope, prong buck, pronghorn antelope, and prairie antelope, because it closely resembles the antelopes of the Old World and fills a similar ecological niche due to parallel evolution. It is the only surviving member of the family Antilocapridae.
