Diet, reproduction and habitat of Wyoming's pronghorn Pronghorn are herbivores and eat only plant matter like grasses, forbs, sagebrush and other plants. To better digest their meals, pronghorn digest their food twice. After first swallowing their food, it passes through their stomach and then pronghorn regurgitate it. Regurgitated food is called cud. You will rarely see a pronghorn drinking water. They are able to get enough water from the plants they eat. Pronghorn breed in late summer, usually in September. Pregnant females give birth to babies called fawns in late May or early June. Pronghorn usually give birth to twins. Fawns weigh between 5-7 pounds. Although small and weak, pronghorn are not defenseless to predators. Fawns are scentless and quickly gain the ability to run and evade predators shortly after birth. At just 5-days-old, fawns can outrun a human. Pronghorn prefer to live in flat areas with gentle, rolling hills. This terrain pairs well with their high-speed tactic of escaping predators.
