[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1721080, member: 87243"] Actually, they are neither. The north American pronghorn is neither a goat, nor an antelope. It is a species all it's own, a "pronghorn". To quote Yellowstone park service.... "The North American pronghorn [I](Antilocapra americana)[/I] is the surviving member of a group of animals that evolved in North America during the past 20 million years. It is not a true antelope, which is found in Africa and southeast Asia. The use of the term “antelope” seems to have originated when the first written description of the animal was made during the 1804–1806 Lewis and Clark Expedition." Calling them "goats" is just another name we use, more specifically, speed goats. They are kind of quirky like farm goats are, I think that may be why they got that name. [/QUOTE]
