The Mexican pronghorn (Antilocapra americana mexicana) is a pronghorn subspecies which inhabits in Mexico and the United States. It was historically found from Hidalgo and the State of Mexico to the Southwestern United States and Western Texas, but has been reduced from most of its previous range. This subspecies is endangered and is threatened by illegal hunting, overgazing, and habitat loss.
