Pronghorns are among the fastest land mammals in North America. They are extremely efficient at running long distances. They have a branched horn sheath, not an antler, which is why the animal is called a "pronghorn." They are herbivores and live in the prairie regions of North America. In Canada, they live in Saskatchewan and Alberta, and we used to have them in Manitoba. The location of their eyes (further back on their head) helps them to see predators up to six kilometres away. Their main predators are coyotes. They are reddish brown in colour and have white stomachs and wide white stripes on their necks. If they are afraid, they will raise the hair on their rumps to show a white warning patch to let others in the herd know of the danger.
Get To Know Your Zoo Animals:
Bucky is our dominant male for the herd. You can identify him by the larger horn sheaths on top of his head. He was hand reared by zoo keepers, so he may be friendly enough to come investigate as you walk along the edge of his exhibit.
