*** About Mule Deer

***: The Mule Deer, named for its large, mule-like ears, is a hardy species native to the western regions of North America. Known scientifically as Odocoileus hemionus, these deer are adaptable creatures, thriving in varied habitats ranging from dense forests to arid deserts. Mule Deer are essential to their ecosystems, serving as prey for predators and as seed dispersers for plants. They are recognized for their unique antler structure, which branches equally from a single main beam, and they typically shed and regrow these antlers annually. Conservation efforts are vital for maintaining their populations, which face threats from habitat loss and hunting. This artwork not only portrays the beauty of these creatures but also subtly highlights their importance in nature’s tapestry.
