This one came to me in a dream. Seriously. I don't know what that means. I got the picture from this page: http://www.lewis-clark.org/content/content-article.asp?ArticleID=356, and left the photo credit because it's such a nice picture. Anyway:



Context: If you don't know, the North American pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) is the only living member of the ungulate family Antilocapridae and is by far the fastest land mammal in the Western hemisphere; it most likely evolved to outrun a species of cheetah which didn't survive the Pleistocene extinction of the megafauna in the Americas. :3
