Pronghorns in December - III. Finale




For a long time I thought that Pronghorns are safe on Antelope island but I was wrong. Pronghorns and Mule deer can be attacked by coyotes that can be hell for a single Pronghorn or Mule Deer, the coyotes  also on outlook for young fawns, especially during a fawn's first six weeks of life.

Well, Pronghorns found the way to stay safe; they usually move across the island in herds keeping themself and their young ones safe.







I have never seen before a pack of Pronghorns and was happy to follow it for a while and take as many photos as my memory card could hold.  





















When the time came I started culling some of my photos and for the first time I couldn't decide what photos I would keep and what I would ditch.  Here are a few more photos of these incredible animals.

Generally, life is good!

  4. Desgraciadamente es la ley de la naturaleza, unos mueren para que otros puedan vivir, aunque sea a costa de tan bellos animales. Preciosa serie fotográfica.
    Un abrazo y cuidate.

  7. Usually, when the herd is attacked, an animal sacrifices itself for the others. The photo shows that life is beautiful at that time of day.
