Pronghorn in profile, Yellowstone National Park

Pronghorn in profile standing in tall grass

A profile view of a pronghorn buck in northern Yellowstone National Park. One could even think it was a unicorn in this view, if not for the slightly different bend to the tip of his horns. This was a large male that we saw traveling with a group of other bachelors through the dry plains just outside of Gardner.

    1. Thanks, Dina! At the beginning of my trip I was excited to take some documentary shots of them at great distances, just to say that i had photographed them. I had no idea that by the end of the trip I'd have daily opportunities to photograph pronghorn up close!
