What's the difference between pronghorn and saiga?
Pronghorn
Definition:
(n.) An American antelope (Antilocapra Americana), native of the plain near the Rocky Mountains. The upper parts are mostly yellowish brown; the under parts, the sides of the head and throat, and the buttocks, are white. The horny sheath of the horns is shed annually. Called also cabree, cabut, prongbuck, and pronghorned antelope.
Example Sentences:

(6) ), tule elk (Cervus elaphus nannodes), Roosevelt elk (C. e. roosevelti), pronghorn antelope (Antilocapra americana), California bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis californiana), Peninsular bighorn sheep (O. c. cremnobates) and desert bighorn sheep (O. c. nelsoni) and analyzed them for agar gel precipitating (AGP) antibodies to bluetongue (BT) virus (BTV).
(7) Exposure of pronghorns (Antilocapra americana) in western Nebraska in 1983 to selected livestock pathogens was examined by serology and attempted virus isolation.
(8) Chronic or intermittent diarrhea was observed in most individuals in two groups of hand-raised 1- to 8-mo-old pronghorns.
(9) In August and September 1984, another BT epizootic occurred in northeastern Wyoming resulting in 300 known pronghorn deaths.
(10) Nasal secretions, leukocytes and preputial or vaginal swabs from a group of 15 captive wild ruminants, comprising six pronghorn antelope (Antilocapra americana), seven fallow deer (Dama dama) and two mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), and from 50 free-ranging pronghorns in southern Alberta, were examined for viral agents.
(11) Blood samples were collected from captive and free-ranging elk (Cervus canadensis), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), white-tailed deer, (Odocoileus virginianus), black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus), pronghorn (Antilocapra americana), moose (Alces alces), and bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) for cultural evidence of Trypanosoma sp.
(12) Pancreatic ribonuclease from pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) was isolated and its amino acid sequence was determined from a tryptic digest of the performic acid-oxidized protein.
(13) Blood from the infected pronghorns produced disease in four splenectomized sheep.
(14) Gross and histologic lesions were observed in the large muscles of the hindlimbs of most affected pronghorns.

(16) Bluetongue virus serotype 17 was isolated from pronghorn in both epizootics.
(17) The X chromosomes of the male pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) is larger than the "original" type and carries a large segment of late-labelling chromatin.
(18) In a most parsimonius tree of pancreatic ribonucleases, pronghorn and giraffe were placed together and these two were placed with the bovids, leaving the deer as a taxon separate from the other ruminants.
(19) Free-ranging pronghorns were sampled only once, at the time of capture.
(20) Trophozoites and cysts of an amoeba resembling Entamoeba bovis were recovered from soft stools of captive pronghorn fawns (Antilocapra americana).
Saiga
Definition:
(n.) An antelope (Saiga Tartarica) native of the plains of Siberia and Eastern Russia. The male has erect annulated horns, and tufts of long hair beneath the eyes and ears.
Example Sentences:
(1) Diagnosis of paratuberculosis in four of eight of the imported saiga antelope and in eleven of their 18 offspring indicates the importance of this disease in management of captive wild ruminants and the ease with which this organism can be transmitted.

(4) Mycobacterium paratuberculosis was isolated in low numbers from the small intestine and associated mesenteric lymph nodes of a saiga antelope (Saiga tatarica) using routine culture techniques in spite of histologic evidence of high numbers of acid-fast bacteria in these tissues.
(5) Individual variation among the Saiga and the deer did not appear to be due to the percentages of neutrophils or the percentage of contaminating erythrocytes in the cell preparations.
