species antilocapra two fastest modified pronghorn giraffes
class mammalia koo - game summary (part 1)

Answer:

To solve this fill - in - the - blank problem related to the classification of mammals (specifically the pronghorn), we analyze each blank:

First Blank (the overall group)

The first blank is at the top of the classification. Given the context of the family Antilocapridae and the species Antilocapra americana (pronghorn), the group here should be the genus or the overall taxonomic group that contains the order Artiodactyla. But looking at the options and the context, the first blank (the main group) should be "Antilocapra" (the genus) or considering the options, the first box (the top - level include) is likely "Pronghorn" (the common name for Antilocapra americana). Wait, let's re - examine the options. The options are: species, antelopes, two, fastest, modified, pronghorn, giraffes.

Wait, the first blank: The text starts with "Include" and then has order Artiodactyla, family Antilocapridae. So the "Include" is likely the name of the animal, which is "Pronghorn".

Second Blank ("only ____ in this family is still living")

The family is Antilocapridae. The only species in this family that is still living is the pronghorn, but the options: "species" makes sense here. Wait, "only species in this family is still living" because Antilocapridae has only one living species (Antilocapra americana). So the second blank is "species".

Third and Fourth Blanks ("more closely related to __ than __")

Pronghorns (Antilocapra americana) are more closely related to giraffes? No, wait, pronghorns are often thought to be more closely related to giraffes (in the taxonomic sense of Artiodactyla) than to antelopes? Wait, no, actually, pronghorns are in their own family. But among the options, "giraffes" and "antelopes". Wait, the correct relation: Pronghorns are more closely related to giraffes (both in Artiodactyla) than to antelopes (which are in different families within Artiodactyla). So third blank: "giraffes", fourth blank: "antelopes".

Fifth Blank ("____ land mammal in North American")

Pronghorn is the fastest land mammal in North America. So this blank is "fastest".

Sixth and Seventh Blanks ("horn sheaths made of __ hair which grows in __ different directions")

Pronghorn horn sheaths are made of modified hair, and the hair grows in two different directions? Wait, the options: "modified" and "two". So sixth blank: "modified", seventh blank: "two".

Let's fill in each blank step by step:

1. First blank (Include): "Pronghorn" (the animal we are classifying)
2. Second blank ("only ____ in this family is still living"): "species" (since Antilocapridae has only one living species)
3. Third blank ("more closely related to ____"): "giraffes"
4. Fourth blank ("than ____"): "antelopes"
5. Fifth blank ("____ land mammal in North American"): "fastest" (Pronghorn is the fastest land mammal in North America)
6. Sixth blank ("horn sheaths made of ____ hair"): "modified"
7. Seventh blank ("which grows in ____ different directions"): "two"

Let's verify:

• Include: Pronghorn (the animal)
• Order: Artiodactyla
• Family: Antilocapridae
• only species in this family is still living (since Antilocapridae has one living species)
• more closely related to giraffes than antelopes (taxonomically, pronghorns and giraffes share some distant relations in Artiodactyla)
• Antilocapra americana (the species)
• fastest land mammal in North American (pronghorn is the fastest land mammal in North America)
• horn sheaths made of modified hair which grows in two different directions (pronghorn horn sheaths are made of modified hair with a two - direction growth pattern)

So the filled - in blanks are:

1. Pronghorn
2. species
3. giraffes
4. antelopes
5. fastest
6. modified
7. two
