Antelope Canyon is the most-visited and most-photographed slot canyon in the Southwestern United States. It was formed by erosion of Navajo Sandstone, primarily due to flash flooding and secondarily due to other sub-aerial processes. Photography within the canyons is difficult due to the wide exposure range (often 10 EV or more) made by light ...
A beam of sunlight in Upper Antelope Canyon. A slot canyon is a long, narrow channel or drainageway with sheer rock walls that are typically eroded into either sandstone or other sedimentary rock. A slot canyon has depth-to-width ratios that typically exceed 10:1 over most of its length and can approach 100:1.
The presence of Bavlinella faveolata in the formation indicates a likely age of 750–650 Ma, because this fossil occurs elsewhere where it is well-dated radiometrically. . The Mineral Fork Formation is no older than 1,250 Ma and no younger than 540
Hirola do however favour short green grass and in 392 of 674 observations (58%) hirola were grazing on growths of short green grass around waterholes. [30] This association with waterholes may have led to reports that hirola are dependent on surface water. [15] Hirola are primarily grazers but browse may be important in the dry season. [31]

Though not an antelope, it is known colloquially in North America as the American antelope, prong buck, pronghorn antelope and prairie antelope, [5] because it closely resembles the antelopes of the Old World and fills a similar ecological niche due to parallel evolution. [6] It is the only surviving member of the family Antilocapridae. [7]
