Mule deer are medium-sized deer that stand around 3 feet tall. They have large ears and light tan fur that helps them camouflage in different environments. Mule deer live in forests, fields, and shrub lands, building homes out of sticks and grass. They primarily eat grass and vegetables, grazing during the morning, afternoon, and sometimes at night using their teeth and neck to gather food. Mule deer can live up to 50 years and usually have one baby per year.
