The American Pronghorn—sometimes called a "Speed Goat"—is neither a goat nor a true antelope but a species of its own! What’s certain, though, is its incredible speed. With bursts over 55 mph, it’s the fastest land mammal in the Western Hemisphere and possibly the fastest on Earth in sustained runs.

Capturing one in motion is no easy task, as they are skittish and quick to vanish. I was lucky to snap this shot in the Smoke Creek Desert, CA—a rugged, remote landscape where these animals thrive. 🌾🏜
