The endangered Sonoran pronghorn (Antilocapra americana sonoriensis) of Arizona and Mexico is among one of the Department of Defense's most eye-catching tenants. This graceful holder of the North American land speed record can run at speeds up to 60 miles (95 kilometers) per hour, and its large eyes can detect movement 4 miles (6.5 kilometers) away. Once widespread in the southwestern desert, the Sonoran pronghorn is now restricted to three isolated herds, two in Mexico and one in America. With a total population of fewer than 500 animals, it is highly endangered.
