Agitated Pronghorn

[John Blumenkamp]

This is the same pronghorn shown in my previous post... after wandering off a fair distance, he suddenly moved quickly near my position with a very alert pose and then began to hiss and moan as another male approached. I haven't seen the mane/neck hair raise up like this before, nor hear the noise of this agitated guy - interesting to observe. The other male soon left and things were back to normal... :)

John I love the alert pose of the male. I don't recall ever seeing a pronghorn portrait before.
