Compared With Other Regions
Explore how Pronghorn sightings in Alberta compare to other North American hubs:
Tawny above with a white rump, two white bands across the throat and black horns that fork into a distinctive prong, this animal is not a true antelope. Males also wear a black face mask. It lives on open grassland and sagebrush plains of western and central North America, eating forbs, grasses and shrubs. Scan open country at dawn or dusk for herds, and watch the white rump flare as they bolt at high speed.
