When I first saw the pronghorns as I was heading out of Spring Creek Basin, post-sunset under clouds (before I got my camera yanked out of my backpack and brought to bear at eye level and before this photo), I thought the doe shepherding three littles ahead of her had triplet fawns.

Then I realized that there was at least another doe with the group (in addition to the buck I also initially saw).

But I do think at least two of the little critters were twins.

Not sure he’s daddy, but he *was* protective of his little family.

Another beautiful end to another beautiful day in Spring Creek Basin, Disappointment Valley, Western Slope, Colorado, America, planet Earth. π (And as if this weren’t enough, two bands of mustangs were very nearby.)
How lovely you were able to observe and engage with the Pronghorn. Reading your post reminded me I had a dream about Pronghorn last night. Not an animal I normally dream about. I was pointing them out to a friend in my dream.
I wouldn’t think so (dreaming about pronghorns)! They’re fairly rare around here (and so not hunted), but I would imagine they’re really rare in your neck of the woods. π
Lovely wild family!
Family is important in every wilderness. π
I love those pronghorns!
So do I. π
What a lovely rare sight to see so many of these fast pronghorns. Thanks π

I’m always glad to see them. π
And what a lovely family they are! Great “family portraits” of these beautiful pronghorns, TJ! Definitely “studio quality.” π
Thanks, Sue. π
What an amazing place! Love the pronghorn family. 2 babies would be plenty to carry while runny!
Pictures are great.
Ha – too true! Once born, though, those babies are fast within just a couple of days!
