*** About Mule Deer: Mule deer, named for their large, mule-like ears, are indigenous to western North America. This species is mostly recognized by their large ears, black-tipped tails, and the antlers that fork as they grow, rather than branching from a single main beam as seen in other deer. They are adaptable animals, found in environments ranging from dense forests to arid deserts. Often, they are a symbol of the American West, representing wildlife that has adapted to both the rugged natural landscape and the expanding human presence. Their depiction in art often emphasizes tranquility and the continuity of nature amidst human encroachment.
