Queens Zoo Welcomes Four Baby Pronghorn Antelopes (VIDEO)

Today in cute zoo baby news: the Wildlife Conservation Society's Queens zoo welcomed three new pronghorn antelope fawns this weekend.

Sure, they are cute, and a little wobbly at the whole prancing thing, but what exactly is a pronghorn antelope? The Queens Zoo tells us that:

1. "They are true American natives that do not occur anywhere else in the world and are the second-fastest land animal in the world - second only to the cheetah."
2. "Each tiny fawn has a coat of beautiful soft-brown fur and enormous dark-brown eyes.:
3. "In the wild, pronghorn populations are threatened by new roads, fences, development, and resource extraction activities that are increasingly encroaching upon, and restricting, access to suitable habitat."

Anything else you need to know you can most likely find out in this video, below.

They're adorable, and since we saw them on the news a couple of nights ago my niece is begging to go and see them.

Maybe someone should think about loosening those collars. They look a little tight.

They need to fit snugly to prevent them from getting a foot stuck in their collars.

I think you might be right......I had your game on in my office last week and Fla looked real strong.
