Research is critical because this animal is ill-studied. Researchers must have the ability to do their work so they can update and improve the recovery plan, which was prepared by Laura Thompson-Olais of the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge. Pronghorn are beautiful animals. They are long legged. They are small bodied artiodactyls.
Pronghorn have tan bodies with black faces.
They are distinguished by the large white areas of hair present on the rump, sides of face, two bands on throat, underparts, and part way up the sides of the body. Their skulls are narrower in mastoidal, orbital, and zygomatic width. Their frontal depression is less pronounced. Also, their premaxillae is less extended posteriorly along the median line. Sonoran Pronghorns also have auditory bullae that are more flattened, less projecting below the level of the basioccipital.
