叉角羚（Antilocapra americana）又名“美国羚羊”，仅有一科一属一种。分布于北美洲西部的开阔地带，北起加拿大南部，南到墨西哥北部。叉角羚奔跑速度极快(速度接近猎豹,耐久力远胜于猎豹)，以高速耐力奔跑而闻名，长时间高速奔跑，一次跳跃可达6米。出生4天的羊羔就能比人跑得快。其最高速度可达每小时97公里，而且有着惊人的耐力，被誉为地球上最善于耐力奔跑的动物。善游泳。夏季组成小群活动，冬季则集结成上百只的大群。为寻找食物和水源，一年中常进行几次迁移。性机警，视觉敏锐，能看到数千米外的物体。遇险时，臀部的白色毛能立起，这是向同伴告警的一种特殊信号。叉角羚科动物曾经是史前北美食肉类动物北美猎豹、短面熊和恐狼、美洲拟狮、獵豹等动物的主要捕食对象。在美国洛杉矶著名的拉布雷沥青坑(Rancho La Brea)中发现了大量的叉角羚科动物化石。
