Великолепно! Хотя и своеобразное животное, но сразу видно -Pronghorn! Ром, эти зверушки в миоцен-плиоцене дали огромное разнообразие форм от маленьких до средних, с удивительными формами рогов! Это были и есть исконно американские антилопы во все времена, только в десяток раз разнообразнее. Сделал бы серию вымерших американских вилорогов - любителям американской дикой природы, да и не только им, понравилось бы, думаю...
