An antelope fawn has a playful sparring match with a yearling doe in Custer State Park, South Dakota. As an adult this youngster will have no trouble leaving predators in the dust as an antelope is easily the fastest animal on the North American continent, having been clocked at speeds in excess of 60 mph. They are also great marathoners able to maintain great speeds over long distances.
