Living with Wildlife Pronghorn antelope The pronghorn antelope (Antilocapra americana) is the rarest and least-known hoofed- mammal classified as a game

The pronghorn antelope (Antilocapra americana) is the rarest and least-known hoofedmammal classified as a game species in the state of Washington. (Woodland caribou, Rangifer tarandus caribou, are rarer, but are classified as Endangered under both Federal and Washington’s state endangered species statute). Although often called simply “antelope”, pronghorns are not true antelope at all; most authorities consider them the sole modern member of the family Antilocapridae, whereas all other horned-ungulates (mammals with hooves) in North America belong to the family Bovidae.
