Published reports of survival and cause-specific mortality for pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) indicate that mortality differs regionally and seasonally with sex, age and density of pronghorn.

We report a visual observation of bobcat (Felis rufus) predation on an adult female pronghorn in northwestern South Dakota.
