Talk:Pronghorn

message: Wyoming has a population of ~560,000. The number for the entire pronghorn population given is 500,000. So is the claim that there are more pronghorns than humans in Wyoming false, or is the pronghorn population number low?--129.72.152.165 (talk) 20:42, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: My authority is none other than Wikipedia itself: the Antelopes are a number of species in the family Bovidae, so i) there is no such thing as "the antelope", and ii) the pronghorn does not belong to Bovidae, but to its own (related) family, Antilocapridae (as is clearly explained on the Antelope page). And, I don't see how this edit could possibly be vandalism. Tjunier 07:17, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Just now watching a Yellowstone documentary, where they said (and maybe I misinterpreted) that pronghorn give birth to twins.  From the phrasing I couldn't tell if this was an "always" sort of thing.  Can anyone confirm or deny?
Most of the time, they are twins. But not all of the time. It is actually a little creepy, they normally have as many as seven zygotes develop, 5 (or so) are killed in the womb by the growth of the (usually) two surviving ones. DFS (talk) 20:00, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

message: The range map is definitely not accurate.  There's an entire Oregon subspecies, but the range map doesn't show anything in Oregon.  There's probably more wrong with it, but that's the one I can see immediately, since I see prognhorns in Oregon with some regularity.67.171.240.25 (talk) 01:52, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

I'm sure that was their historical range, not their current range. Today I'd be surprised to see one on the 405. Kortoso  (talk) 20:44, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

message: On List of examples of convergent evolution#Mammals, it includes the similarity of the pronghorn and the antelope as an example of convergent evolution. However, this article says that this is actually an instance of parallel evolution, which is apparently a different thing. Which is correct? GSMR (talk) 20:21, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

message: The article mentions hunting is part of population control in Wyoming, but there aren't any hunting photos. Pronghorn are commonly seen inside the city limits of Gillette, Wyoming. They are part of the culture and history of city with buttes, businesses, residential subdivisions, and teams named after the animal. The city used to hold an antelope hunt and hosted hunters from across the country. Here are two photo postcards that were probably part of that annual event. The photos show field dressed pronghorn that might be useful.
