*** About Mule Deer: Mule deer are a species native to the western regions of North America, easily recognizable by their large, mule-like ears which move independently. Their habitat ranges from dense forests and mountainous regions to grassy plains. Mule deer are important to their ecosystems, aiding in seed dispersion through their grazing. The fawn, with its distinctive white spots that serve as camouflage, stays close to its mother for protection and nourishment during its early life, reflecting a touching aspect of wildlife behavior in nurturing and survival.
