Speed Goat

Thanks to fellow artist Michelle Grant for a great pronghorn nickname: "speed goat", somehow I had never heard it before. Although the pronghorn is not a goat, it's a unique animal that is closely related to antelope, they sorta have a goaty look about them. And talk about fast! I have tried to chase them on horseback and it was laughable. Pronghorns are the fastest animal on hooves. The reference for this is a crop from a larger photo available for artist use by the USFWS Mountain Prairie division, which has tons of gorgeous photos on their Flickr album.
