The Pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) is a species of artiodactyl mammal endemic to interior western and central North America. Though not an antelope, it is often known colloquially in North America as the Prong Buck, Pronghorn Antelope, or simply Antelope,as it closely resembles the true antelopes of the Old World and one theory is that it fills a similar ecological niche due to convergent evolution.It is the only surviving member of the family Antilocapridae. During the Pleistocene period, 12 antilocaprid species existed in North America. About 5 existed when humans entered North America[citation needed] 13,000 years ago; all but A. americana are now extinct.

The American White Pelican or Rough-billed Pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) is a large aquatic bird from the order Pelecaniformes. It breeds in interior North America, moving south and to the coasts, up to Central America, in winter.
The scientific name means "red-billed pelican", from the Latin term for a pelican, Pelecanus, and erythrorhynchos, derived from the Ancient Greek words erythros (ἐρυθρός, "red") + rhynchos (ῥύγχος, "bill").

Early morning at Yellowstone. I have to say a big thank you to bro Pradeep for this as he was the one who drove me to this place before sunrise. The round structure that you can see in the foreground is a geyser.
