THE STEAL

PRONGHORN ANTELOPE
One of the fastest runners on earth.
Able to dash-off a 60 mph sprint,
Plus, Maintain speeds of 30 mph for long distances.

ADAPTATIONS FOR SPEED
An over-sized windpipe, huge lungs and heart.
Pronghorn run with mouths open, To further aid in oxygen intake.

THE STEAL
One moment,
We're peering through binoculars,
Watching one male try to control his large harem.

Then. Whoosh,
A female pronghorn races toward us.
With a new suitor hot on her hooves.
As she sped past us,
I noticed she turned,
Just to be sure,
His handsomeness still followed.
Guess the best pronghorn wins.
