Pronghorn - Irvine, AB

An early morning trip to the southern border of Alberta and Saskatchewan had us looking at one of the only member left of the Pronghorn Family but its closest living relative is alive an well in Africa. Believe it or not, they believe that the Pronghorn is the Giraffe. These fast runners are however not related to the antelope of Africa even though they are sometimes called Pronghorn Antelope. This female was in the short-grass prairie just southwest of Irvine, AB.
