Newborn Pronghorn - a photo on Flickriver

Newborn Pronghorn

- www.kevin-palmer.com - In the dark of midnight, on the side of the road popped up a tiny head with bright eyes reflecting back. This pronghorn fawn was no more than a few days old. Just like deer, these babies spend the first few weeks of their life hidden away while their mother feeds and returns to nurse several times a day. This wasn't the best hiding spot, and I hoped the coyotes howling over the hill stayed at bay. Pronghorn are about 7 lbs at birth and grow to be about 105 lbs, living 10-15 years on average. 100 years ago pronghorn were on the verge of extinction with as few as 13,000 remaining. But after conservation efforts their population has rebounded to nearly 1 million today. They are found throughout the wide open spaces of the West. But no state has more than Wyoming. Normally they are hard to photograph because they are the fastest land animal in North America. But this little one stayed perfectly still for me.
