Yes, pronghorns are vertebrates. They are mammals belonging to the family Antilocapridae and have a backbone with a spinal cord running through it, which is characteristic of all vertebrates.

Pronghorns typically live up to around 10-15 years in the wild. However, in captivity, they can live up to 20 years or more. Various factors such as predation, disease, food availability, and habitat quality can affect their lifespan.

The adult Pronghorn Antelope's weight varies from the male to the female, the the female slightly lighter than the male. The male weighs from about 40 to 60 kg and the females weigh around 40 to 50 kg.

Pronghorn are fast runners due to their long legs and powerful muscles, which have evolved to escape predators like cheetahs. Their exceptional stamina and efficient breathing system also contribute to their speed, allowing them to maintain high speeds over long distances. Additionally, pronghorn have unique adaptations such as cushioned hooves and a lightweight build to further enhance their running ability.

A Pronghorn Antelope can run at speeds up to 55-60 miles per hour (88-96 km/h), making it one of the fastest land animals in North America. They are built for speed with adaptations such as lightweight bodies, large lungs, and strong muscles.

A group of pronghorn is called a herd. They are social animals that often gather in herds for protection, mating, and migration.

A female pronghorn is called a doe.

The pronghorn, also known as the American antelope, protects itself through its incredible speed and agility. It is the fastest land mammal in North America, capable of reaching speeds up to 55 miles per hour (88 kilometers per hour). Additionally, the pronghorn has exceptional vision, which allows it to detect predators from a distance and escape from potential threats.

Pronghorns are in fact, not antelope, though they are also known as Prong buck, Pronghorn antelope or just simply Antelope. They are native to North and Central America, living in the Western United states and in Mexico. They are the only surviving members of the family Antilocapridae.
