Abstract
In the high-elevation deserts of western Wyoming, a highly adaptive scavenger, the Common Raven (Corvus corax), and an avian predator, the Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos), are sympatric with pronghorn (Antilocapra americana). During winter months pronghorm have been observed to respond to these avian species with extreme anti-predatory behavior.
