*** About Mule Deer: Mule deer, named for their large, mule-like ears, are a common sight in the western United States, particularly in rocky and mountainous terrain. These deer are highly adaptable, residing in varied habitats including forests, deserts, and grasslands. They are known for their unique bounding leap, called stotting, which allows them to efficiently navigate rough terrains. Mule deer are crucial to their ecosystems, affecting the distribution and health of vegetation through their grazing. This species faces challenges such as habitat loss and the impacts of climate change, making conservation efforts vital for their continued survival.
