Boy chases girl, not on the plains of the Kalahari, but on a dry lake playa in northern Washoe County, Nevada. Antilocapra americana (pronghorn) are not related to antelope but fill a similar ecological niche in North America due to parallel evolution. Pronghorns are related to giraffe and okapi, however. Pronghorns are the fastest North American land animal able to run at speeds up to 89kph (55mph).
