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.

The mammalian class is under the Vertebrata subphylum, so...yes. A pronghorn is a vertebrate.

As all countries are part of a continent then both countries and continent would be correct

yes

In short, predator evasion. Pronghorns have large hearts and lungs to help with this survival technique.

No, it is a herbivore.

Pronghorns are found in the grasslands, brushlands, and deserts of the western and central North American continent.

Slightly smaller than a whitetail deer. Probably about 90-100 pounds for an average buck.

A lot of sites say 9 years, but if you want a range, 7-10 years.

I know this might sound weird and all but there is a such thing as a pronghorn. The adaptions are it's speed and it's eyesight for the life on the prairie.

60 miles per hour

They can top out at over 50 mph, and can hold this speed for up to two miles.

The pronghorn lives 6 to 8 years old. by Jonah R..
