The Barbour's Pronghorn (Hayoceros barbourin) is a species of Pronghorn that lived in the Great Plains region of North America. It went extinct around 9,000 BCE but was brought back to life via cloning and temporal dislocation technologies by the Greene Foundation in the early 2010s.

Description

Barbour's Pronghorn is about 5.9 ft in body length, and in most respects, resembled the American Pronghorn. However, in addition to the pair of forked horns located above the eyes, as in the American Pronghorn, it also possessed a second, longer and unforked, pair on the back of the skull.

Ecology

3 herds each containing a dozen individuals were released into the wild. One in Yellowstone National Park and the other two in the Great Plains, in South Dakota and Wyoming respectively.

Behavior-wise Barbour's Pronghorn is extremely similar to the American Pronghorn, forming mixed-sex herds in the winter. In early spring, the herds break up, with young males forming bachelor groups, females forming harems, and adult males living solitarily

Conservation

Barbour's Pronghorn are displayed at the Maple Hills Zoo, San Diego Zoo and Toronto Zoo
