Surprised he let me get close enough to get some good cell phone shots. The rut is also about to start. He may not have wanted to leave the ladies.

Wow you can really see how that animal is built. Explains why every time I’ve seen some they’re pretty much just white butts moving away at an insanely rapid pace. That’s a lot of running and leaping muscles.

"In 2026, Fabian C. Hardy and Anne E. Kort reported that the modern pronghorns and their early relatives of the Miocene epoch had no significant difference in ankle bone proportions, indicating that pronghorns developed adaptations for high speeds prior to the first appearance of M. trumani. Additionally, the variety of diet indicated by isotope analysis among specimens of M. trumani from different regions within North America suggested that it was not specifically adapted for hunting cursorial prey like pronghorns, but had a flexible diet like that of modern lions and cougars which also have wide geographical ranges."
