Mule deer pictures for your personal use. Here is a bit of information on the Mule Deer.
The Mule Deer, while closely related to the eastern
species-the white-tailed deer, are remarkably distinct in their biological, ecological,
and behavioral attributes.
The Mule Deer carries its thin, black-tipped tail drooped, unlike the uplifted, bushy
white tail of its cousin. They have a distinctly different gait from the leisurely,
graceful leaps of the white-tail. When startled, a Mule Deer will move in a series of
stiff-legged jumps with all four feet hitting the ground together.
Mule Deer are usually a dark gray-brown, with a small white rump patch and a small,
black-tipped tail. Their large ears are distinctive. White-tail deer are tan in color,
with a larger tail.
Mule Deer antlers are normally smaller and branch to form 2 equal forks, while the male
White-tailed Deer has forward curving antlers with a number of points (tines) branching
from the main beam.
Mule deer are popular among deer hunters. For mule deer
