Indigenous cultures like the Yakama Nation brought back pronghorn to their ancestral lands starting in 2011 after they were overhunted by European colonizers by the early 1900s. Plowing of the lands and fencing destroyed and broke up the open sage landscape that pronghorn required. The North American pronghorn is the last of its kind endangered in some areas because of fences that still trap and block them. Infrastructure has disrupted their natural movements. Wildlife-friendly fencing can help. Severe drought has also contributed to their decline.
Pronghorn are the only living species with their closest relatives being the giraffe. Like deer, the males are called bucks and the females does however both males and females grow horns, unlike Deer or Elk. Pronghorns shed their horns annually while antelope keep theirs for life. Salvador Romero's wonderful pronghorn (or perhaps antelope) measures roughly 4 1/8" long, 1" wide and 3 5/8" tall. It's elegantly carved from found stone.
