Pronghorns The pronghorn is found only on the Great Plains. It is often called an antelope and can run up to 60 miles per hour. A pronghorn uses its sharp vision to see danger. Its speed helps it outrun wolves and human hunters. It can raise the white hair patch on its rump to let the herd know of trouble. Lewis and Clark first saw antelope a few miles below the Niobrara River. The men thought they were as fast as birds.
