As I shared in an earlier post (click HERE if you missed it), we saw bison while driving the WildLife Loop in Custer State Park in South Dakota. But we also saw other wildlife as well. The pronghorn above was spotted before we saw the herd of bison.

After leaving the bison, we noticed this pronghorn sitting in an open area on the prairie. She (we decided it was a she) was intently watching a tree about 100 yards away.

We were curious about her behavior, so we looked at the tree more closely and spotted these smaller pronghorns. Mama was evidently keeping a careful eye on them.

We were leaving the park when we spotted this lovely creature in a field. It looks like she’s watching us as intensely as we were watching her.
