Antilocapra is a genus of the family Antilocapridae, which contains only a single living species, the pronghorn (Antilocapra americana). Another species, the Pacific pronghorn, lived in California during the Late Pleistocene and survived as recently as 12,000 BP.[3] The name means "antelope-goat".
Antilocapra is the only surviving genus of pronghorn, though three other genera (Capromeryx,[4][5] Stockoceros[6][7] and Tetrameryx[8]) existed in North America up until the end of the Pleistocene.
