Mule Deer

Odocoileus hemionus

Description:

The most noticeable differences between whitetails and mule deer are the size of their ears, the color of their tails, and the configuration of their antlers. The mule deer's tail is black-tipped, the ears are longer and the antlers do not curve back as much.
