The Pronghorn Antelope
"The fastest animal in the Western Hemisphere and among the fastest in the world, the Pronghorn Antelope, making 20' bounds has been clocked at 70 mph for 3-4 minutes at a time. Speeds of 45 mph are not unusual, and 30 mph is an easy cruising speed. Active night and day, it alternates snatches of sleep with watchful feeding. Because it inhabits open terrain, it relies for safety on sight and speed; protruding eyes can detect movement 4 miles away."(1)
