What can outrun any mammal on earth, including the cheetah (over a distance of more than 800m), has legs that can support 45,000lbs of pressure, can spot moving objects 4 miles away, can almost see behind themselves, and were nearly eradicated in the 1920's? I'm sure you've already guessed that it's
the Pronghorn Antelope. Or maybe you didn't guess, but ain't it fascinating? Did you know that avocados evolved to have their seeds spread by being passed through the digestive tract of giant sloths? Me neither. Anyways, read the article, it's good stuf.
