mule deer
A mule deer is a large species of deer predominantly found in western North America. It is named so due to its large mule-like ears. They are known for their ability to adapt to various environments and for a unique bounding leap when scared or threatened, where all four feet push off the ground simultaneously. Their distinctly forked antlers also set them apart from other deer species. They are herbivorous and their diet varies depending on the season. They typically have a brown or grey-brown coat.
