It depends on the species of antelope but, generally, the antelope is the second fastest land animal, second only to the cheetah. They average 40 to 50 miles per hour. Antelope have large lungs and a large heart, and their hair is hollow which allows this animal to run for longer.

Why do the pronghorn antelope run so fast?
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.
