*** About Mule Deer: The Mule Deer, named for its large, mule-like ears, is a common sight in the western North American wilderness. Adapted to a range of habitats from dense forests to arid plains, they are known for their incredible ability to thrive in both stark and lush environments. During the winter, they often migrate to lower elevations to escape the deep snows of the mountains, feeding on whatever vegetation they can find. The males, known as bucks, grow large, branching antlers that they shed annually in the late winter. The Mule Deer plays a crucial role in its ecosystem, serving as prey for large predators like wolves and mountain lions, and as a grazer that influences the composition of vegetation in their habitat.:
