Similar to the image I took of a Corsac Fox, I do apologize for the obtrusive fence through the center of the animal. It’s just I wanted to highlight the return of this species to the San Diego Zoo.
While it may be too late to edit the title of this post. I can confirm (thanks to @Kudu21) that this specimen is a Peninsular Pronghorn (A. a. peninsularis).
I've been wondering for a while, but why have pronghorns disappeared from zoos outside of North America? (The last pronghorns that were kept outside of North America were individuals kept at Kanazawa Zoo, Japan, who died in September 11, 2017)

In Europe, there are reports that they are extremely difficult to keep because they are very susceptible to stress. Since the last attempts to keep them date back to the Cold War era, I could imagine that the poor results were perhaps due to very small enclosures. The population in Europe was therefore probably never large enough to sustain itself.
