Pawnee Primrose Sweethearts

The older gal on right looks like she is carrying a baby, where the one on left looks young to me... maybe following mom around for one more year?

Pronghorns have a gestation period of 235 days (white tail deer are six weeks shorter). They breed in mid-September, and the doe carries her fawn usually until late May (from Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronghorn ) ).

Notes: Be sure you get to check out the 2 shot pano with Dad included that this is part of (see first comment, or my photostream).
