In short, predator evasion. Pronghorns have large hearts and lungs to help with this survival technique.
There used to be a predator similar to a cheetah that once hunted the pronghorn but it died out.
Pronghorn antelope evolved alongside the North American Cheetah. As we all know, the African cheetah can run up to speeds of 110kms per hour over short distances so in order to escape such a fast predator, the antelope needed to be fast too. The North American cheetah is now extinct but the antelope still retains its genetic traits for speed. They developed strong leg bones and padded hooves to absorb shock. Their lungs and trachea are very large, as is their heart. This allows them to use vast amounts of oxygen. Their movement while running also assists in breathing. As their body lurches, the abdominal cavity expands and contracts the lungs so breathing is automatic. This allows the pronghorn to run farther, using less energy than the cheetah. This amazing animal survived by running very quickly over longer distances, leaving the sprinting cheetah too tired to keep up.

A pronghorn strongly resembles the antelope. They can be found in the interior of the North and Central America. Males have horns on top of their heads and can run very fast.
The Wildebeest or 'gnou' can run quite fast for short periods, but NOT as fast as the Pronghorn Antelope, (Antilocapra) widely cited as the fastest antelope at speeds of around 65 kmh.
The Pronghorn Antelope is with speeds of up to 90 km/h (54 mph).
In short, predator evasion. Pronghorns have large hearts and lungs to help with this survival technique.
Second in land speed only to the cheetah, the pronghorn can make 55 mph- for half a mile.
An average pronghorn antelope can run as fast as an average cheetah. But the fastest animal is a peregrine falcon which, in its dive can travel twice as fast.
