Oh, Deer! 9812
A mule deer family hides amongst the dense brush at @Bosque del Apache, NWR, in San Antonio, New Mexico. Mule deer differ from white tail deer in that they have larger mule-like ears (from which we derive their name), black tipped tails, and antlers that bifurcate. They are mainly browsers (eating brush and shrubs) but will also eat grasses (graze). Males tend to live on their own, or in groups. Fauns are born in the spring and are weaned by fall. Mule deer are generally found west of the Missouri River.
