Mammals

A.  Pronghorns are pretty unique in this sense. They have horns that are indeed pronged (in the males) and consist of a permanent bony core covered by an airlike keratinous sheath which is shed every year. So, they have horns but they shed their head 'ornaments' like moose, deer and elk who have antlers which are shed each year. They differ from goats and cattle whose hollow true horns which are not shed annually.

A.   Females Pronghorn often (but not always) bear horns; these horns are rarely pronged and they are typically not longer than the ears.

Birds

A.   The Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) - Male wild turkeys ( aka - gobblers or toms) differ from females (hens) by having longer legs and neck, a larger foot, and larger bodies. Males have an iridescent body plumage with black-tipped breast feathers, while hens have light-brown breast feather tips. The long, red, fleshy area that grows from the forehead over the bill is a "snood," while the fleshy growth under the turkey's throat is called a "wattle." The gobbler typically has a tuft of modified feathers called a "beard" protruding from its breast, along with an upwardly curving spur on the legs.

Fish

A.   The largest striped bass ever recorded was a 125 pound female from North Carolina, 1891.

A. That would be the American eel (Anguilla rostrata) - Mature eels from around the world, including the American eel, return to the Sargasso Sea to spawn and then die. The Sargasso Sea is an area of calm water northeast of the West Indies. The eels begin to migrate in the fall and arrive at the Sargasso Sea in February when spawning occurs. The breeding extends into the summer months, and the adult American eels then die after spawning.

A.   According to the most recent studies this number is 3.2 million. Interesting to know that it is a 100% increase from 1985.

Outdoor Misc.

A.   The deepest river gorge in the North American Continent is Oregon / Idaho's Hells Canyon - which is 7,900 feet deep. Yes, it's deeper than the Grand Canyon which is 6,000 feet deep at its deepest point and 15 miles at its widest.

Horses

A.   According to the Canadian Geographic Magazine, the oldest recorded horse was a barge horse in England known as "Old Bill". He lived till the grand old age of 62!
