TheInfoList



OR:

''Antilocapra'' is a genus of the family Antilocapridae, which contains only a single living species, the pronghorn ''(Antilocapra americana)''. Another species, the Pacific pronghorn, lived in California during the Late Pleistocene and survived as recently as 12,000 BP. The name means "antelope-goat". ''Antilocapra'' is the only surviving genus of pronghorn, though three other genera (''Capromeryx'', ''Stockoceros'' and ''Tetrameryx'') existed in North America up until the end of the Pleistocene.
