Description
This animal is often called a "pronghorn antelope," although it's not really an antelope. I found it on the eponymous Antelope Island in Utah.

Interesting pronghorn facts:

* They have lived in North America since the end of the last ice age (thanks to SymphonyOfDissonance for this fact, which I have verified), so they out-survived saber-toothed cats.
* They are the fastest land animals in North America. They can run about 100 km/h -- and keep it up long enough to beat a cheetah in an endurance test.
* Despite their speed, they can hardly jump at all.
