Pronghorn Antelope - Unique Artiodactyl with Goat-Like Hooves and Impressive Running Ability

Antilocapra is a genus of mammals that includes the pronghorn, a species of artiodactyl (even-toed ungulate) native to the Americas. The name "antilocapra" comes from the Greek words "anti", meaning "like", and "locapra", meaning "goat-foot", in reference to the pronghorn's goat-like hooves.

The pronghorn is a unique animal that is not closely related to other artiodactyls, such as deer or antelopes. It is known for its distinctive horns, which are made of bone and are shed and regrown each year. The pronghorn is also notable for its impressive running ability, with some individuals able to reach speeds of up to 60 miles per hour (97 kilometers per hour).

Antilocapra is the only genus in the family Antilocapridae, which is a group of artiodactyls that is distinct from other families such as Deer and Bovidae. The pronghorn is the only living species within the genus Antilocapra, although there are several extinct species known from fossil records.
