Pregnant Pronghorn in the outback of Nevada

We came across this large pronghorn, a deer like or even gazelle like animal in the middle of nowhere in North-west Nevada. We were tying to drive into the Flying M Ranch by the Walker River State Recreation Area, which used to be owned by the Hilton’s, as in that Hilton family. He has a runway and cool ranch out these parts, but we ran low on gas and had to abort. We did get back there the next day; more on that in a future video.
Anyway, this pronghorn was very alert and just stood there, checking us out for a bit. Then she slowly walked across the dirt road and then started a jog to get a bit of distance from us as we drove by. This pronghorn has swollen nipples and looks pregnant. At least as far as I could tell. She was on her on and the udder was bigger. In any event, it was lovely seeing this beautiful animal of Gods just wandering out there. It was my first time seeing a pronghorn, so double-cool!
Pronghorns (Antilocapra americana) are exceptionally fast. They are one of the fastest land animals in North America, capable of reaching speeds up to 55 miles per hour (88 kilometres per hour). Their incredible speed and endurance are adaptations to evade predators, particularly in the open plains and deserts where they live, like this one.

Are pronghorn giraffes or antelopes? Living fossils or Lazarus taxon?

I think they are more like antelopes.
