MULE DEER
Classification:
(Odocoileus hemionus)
Description:
Mule deer are easy to
identify due to their large mule-like ears. They are
brownish-gray in color, have a white rump patch and a
small white tail with a black tip. The male deer grow
antlers during the summer and fall and shed them each
spring. The antlers split off from the main branch
forming two branches, each branch has 2 or more tines.
Mule deer usually live 9-11 years in the wild and can
live to be much older when in captivity. These deer
range from 3.0-3.5 feet tall at the shoulder, 4.5-7.0
feet long and have a tail that is 5.0-8.0 inches long.
they can weigh between 130-280 pounds. The female deer
are smaller than the male. The annual cycle of antler
growth is regulated by changes in the length of the day.
Mule deer females usually give birth to two fawns,
although if it is their first time having a baby they
often only have one fawn. Mule deer have no upper teeth,
only a hard pallet.
Natural Habitat:
Mule deer can be found
throughout desert regions as long as there is enough
vegetation to hide in and to eat. They will move to
higher elevations during the hottest parts of the summer
and move to lower elevations during the winter months.
They also are found in mountain forests, wooded hills
and in chaparral. These deer adapt to living in the
desert by being active during the warm weather at night
or during the early morning hours. They also have
adapted to eating a wide variety of vegetation types in
order to meet all of their nutritional needs. These deer
currently are not threatened or endangered. Many states
have purchased tracts of land in order to maintain the
various habitats critical to the deer. Mule deer
are found throughout the entire western United States.
