More information about this Wyoming wildlife claybord below.

Wyoming is the pronghorn haven of the world, having more of these unique creatures within its borders than it has people.  Pronghorns are often called "antelope," but they are not really antelope.  They are not closely related to deer, either.  They are an ancient species which continues to mystify even the experts.

Pronghorn migrate in great numbers across the vast regions of Wyoming, and in the river valley where Dawn and her family live, they gather in large herds in the winter and travel down from the higher sagebrush-filled parks in the mountains, to forage on the sagebrush of the ancient floodplain, sheltered by the cedar hills.  From the cabin window Dawn and her family have often watched herds of several hundred pronghorns racing across the pastures and prairie below.  They are the fastest animals in North America, reaching speeds of up to 50 m.p.h.  Coyotes sometimes run relays trying to catch them, and golden eagles harass them, trying to cut a youngster from the herd, but Dawn has never seen any of these attempts succeed.
