	Pronghorn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) is the only surviving member of the family Antilocapridae, and the fastest land animal in North America running at speeds of 54 mph (90 km/h).
		The pronghorn is also known as the pronghorn antelope, but is not a true antelope, and its horns are made up of a hairlike substance that grows around a bony core; the outer sheath is shed annually.
		Pronghorns have a distinct, musky odor and are commonly called "Prairie Goats" or simply "goats" for this reason (as well as their resemblance to domesticated goats.) The pronghorn is one of the fastest land animals, being second only to the cheetah.
