Wind Cave National Park is known for what’s under ground, but it’s also a great spot for all that exists above ground. This male pronghorn granted me a few moments to grab a nice side portrait before he moved along to do pronghorn-y things. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 1600, f/4 at 1/250th of a second.
I enjoy seeing your stunning shots.
Another beautiful capture of a mammal. Hard to distinguish if he looks more like an antelope, goat with a deer body.
Thanks Marisa. I appreciate the comment. Interestingly, its Latin name, Antilocapra americana, means “American goat-antelope,” but it is not a member of the goat or the antelope family.
You’re right, Sean, that Wind Cave is a great place for both natural wonders and wildlife! This is a beautiful portrait of one of our fastest land creatures, actually standing still!

This is a fantastic headshot. This pronghorn will find work in Hollywood no problem.
Real nice!

What a distinguished face and horns!
Thanks Rachel.
