One of the challenges of photographing the megafauna of Yellowstone National Park is that many of them (at least the herbivores) are ruminants. This means that they spend an awful lot of their time chewing. This can make for the occasional comical shot (this one looks surprised, doesn't it?), but it can also lead to a lot of photos with less than facial ideal expressions. But in the end, you take what nature gives you -- and make the most of the frequent chewers.

What a beautiful animal and your photography is beyond stunning.
ReplyDeletegasp!
ReplyDeleteI was able to get some pronghorn on this last road trip. Most were in Wyoming and no where as close as your boy here. I think I need a bigger lens.
ReplyDeleteLOL ... even with gaping mouth, outstanding!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great photo of a pronghorn!
ReplyDeleteI love wildlife photos such as this one.
ReplyDeleteThe expression of the pronghorn was like he was caught in the act of doing something bad.He was like, "I'm not chewing on your crops again, Farmer Joe."
ReplyDeleteLooking over your recent posts, we were close by there a month ago. I am adoring the moose, and the pronghorn. My daughter told me that the Bison were just big pets. This is my adult daughter! Anyways, what a beautiful blog.
ReplyDeleteHe does look rather startled. Great capture!
ReplyDeleteLovely image of a new species for me. As you say a lovely expression
ReplyDeletegreat shot - she looks amazed
ReplyDeleteJust so ya'll know there are a bunch of volunteers modifying fencing to allow pronghorn to migrate as they once used to. Check out the story here https://www.offthebeatenpath.com/yellowstone-pronghorns-dont-fence-them-in/
