I stand corrected - I thought they were antelope, and other visitors to the Grand Teton page also thought so.
Why on earth would you stand corrected. Nobody has corrected you. These animals are quite rightly called antelope or pronghorn antelope for hundreds of years. The Latin term is Antelocapra Americana. That is good enough for me. Who cares if they are properly in the giraffe family? They are definitely not in the goat family as some say. They are related to any African antelope but are definitely America’s antelope. By the way, they also taste very good. I have an appointment with two antelope does in Wyoming on October 1st.

Needs 'can' between they and also. when I lived in Wyoming the wife of a family I knew made the beast darn antelope stew you could ever want.
When my wife tried, our dog "kind of" liked it.

I guess I should have limited it to MY antelope tastes good. I have met many who grew up with it, just as my dad grew up with mutton, and hate it now.

Oh give me a home
Where the Bison roam
And the Deer and the Antelocapra play
Just loses something

Now I have a new place to photograph that I didn't know about before - The Path Of The Pronghorn antelope migration path between Grand Tetons and Pinedale WY east of Wind River area. Sounds like an epic trek with lots of photo opportunities in October and November.

BlueMorel....I'm sorry that I inadvertently hijacked your thread. Me offering a little enlightenment on the subject of Pronghorns seemed to have caused a few panties to get knotted. I apologize for that and hope to see some of those migration photos soon!

No knots just a bit of humor

Just think, there are undoubtedly people who have referred to whales as fish for many generations. Nothing wrong with that.

My panties aren't knotted -
I am always glad to learn something new. For instance, though I don't always succeed, I try to refer to American bison as bison, not buffalo since I learned that properly the one is not the other. Such a small thing to get upset by! One wonders how some get by in life getting upset about such things. Even if I didn't agree with you I still wouldn't be upset - instead I would be interested to learn more. And I found a website: http://www.nhptv.org/natureworks/pronghorn.htmJust because people in the far past named the creatures after something that reminded them of something else, doesn't mean they were right. Somehow, knowing their proper name actually makes them feel more special, more unique to our country.

So glad you understand and received my initial comment as it was intended. Thank you.
By the way, love your name. I hunted morels in Ohio for a number of years, quite often leaving the woods a bit blue.

We have some in our backyard lawn near the woods every spring - between 10 and 12. Obviously not that shade of blue, though. Ours are white morels.
