Big Cypress deer/ panther relationships: Deer mortality
1994  Conference Proceeding

Sixty-sex white-tailes deer were captured in the Bear Island Unit of the Big Cypress National Preserve, 57 of which were radio-instrumented. Of the 26 marked deer that died, 10 were taken by bobcats, 4 by Florida panthers, and 1 by an alligator. Four died of other natural causes, 5 were harvested (3 legally, 2 illegally) and 2 died from unknown causes.
