Who have horns?
True horns—simple unbranched structures that are never shed—are found in cattle, sheep, goats, and antelopes. They consist of a core of bone surrounded by a layer of horn (keratin) that is in turn covered by keratinized epidermis. The antlers of deer are not horns.

Does a donkey have horns?

What are the Predators of the pronghorn?
Pronghorn evolved alongside predators such as dire wolves, the short-faced bear, the North American lion, jaguars, hyenas, and cheetahs; pronghorn were most likely prey for these species (Byers 1997).
Is the pronghorn a real species?
Pronghorn are the only surviving species of the North American ungulate family Antilocapridae. The family to which the pronghorn belongs was originally divided into two subfamilies (one subfamily for extinct Miocene merycodonts and another group of all the other extinct forms plus the modern pronghorn). These distinctions are probably not valid.
How does the predator of the species affect the species?
The predator of the species consumes all of the living organisms in that species resulting in extinction. These predators could be animals, insects, or humans. Humans hunting animals can result in the extinction of a species.
How do animals become extinct?
Species can also become extinct by habitat loss. When a species habitat is taken over the resources they need to survive are unavailable to them, and they no longer have a place to live. An example of this would be animals who live in rain forests that are being cut down.
