Description

This striking wall display features a pair of pronghorn antelope (Antilocapra americana), the fastest land mammals in North America and second-fastest in the world. These animals are renowned for their ability to reach and maintain high speeds across vast grasslands, a critical adaptation for escaping predators in open habitats.

The pronghorn is unique among hoofed animals. Though often called an antelope, it is not a true antelope but the sole surviving species of the Antilocapridae family. It has exceptional eyesight, a wide field of vision, and specialized horns with a keratin sheath that is shed annually—a rare trait.

Displayed together, this taxidermy pair offers a rare visual of the species’ iconic coat pattern, distinctive facial markings, and backward-curving horns, making it both an educational and artistic focal point.

• Native to North American grasslands and deserts
• The only member of the Antilocapridae family
• Can sustain speeds up to 55 mph
