The pronghorn is the second fastest land animal in the world, almost as fast as the cheetah. It is the fastest in the Western Hemisphere. In 1915, after the American pronghorn was almost hunted to extinction, there were only 15,000 animals. Today, there are less than 700,000, but some types of pronghorn, such as the Sonoran, are still on the brink of extinction.
