*** About Mule Deer: Mule Deer, a resilient species native to North America, are easily recognizable by their large, mule-like ears and black-tipped tails. Adapted to a variety of habitats, from mountainous terrains to wooded forests, they play a crucial role in their ecosystems. During spring and summer, they feed on a diverse diet of plants, which changes seasonally to woody growth in winter. The fawns, usually born in late spring, exhibit a reddish-brown coat dotted with white spots, providing camouflage against predators. Observing these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat offers insight into the complexity of ecological relationships and the importance of conserving natural landscapes for future generations.
