Cause of Death
Jackalopes are a prey species for Sasquatch and they are one of their leading causes of death
Sexual competition rarely leads to death
Jackalopes are especially susceptable to athlete's foot and is their leading cause of death
About 10% of all deaths are the result of the jackalope starving to death when they get their antlers stuck in the ground
Competition
Jackalopes are very competative jump ropers with Bassalopes being their main competitors
Competition between jackalopes to make the the jump rope squad is very competitive and can last for hours.
Being on the jump rope team gives them great prestige and can aid in finding a mate.
The recent invasion of the mexican jumping bean has hampered their ability to compete

Human Impact
The major impact of humans is the introduciton of checkers to the jackalope population. This has decreased their activity, leading to fewer jackalopes jumping rope
The future of the jackalope jump rope team is in danger due to the increase adoption of checkers.
Humans first interacted with jackalopes as early as 200 BCE
The group 'Jackalopes Want to Jum' have been trying to have checkers interventions
