Mule Deer


Mule Deer: September 17, 1804, below present-day Chamberlain, South Dakota.

Today we spotted a prairie that we are now calling a "Mule Deer", i don't have to much information on this fascinating animal but i did do as best as i could.
Information: A medium-size deer. Stocky body, with long, slim, sturdy legs. Tail white above and tipped with black. Height: 3–3.4 ft (90–105 cm); length: 3.8–7.5 ft (1.16–1.99 m); tail: 4.5–9 in (11.4–23 cm). Weight: male 110–475 lb (50–215 kg), female 70–160 lb (32–73 kg). My hypothesis on its habitat that i have noticed is that they are always around: forest edges, mountains, and foothills.
Once i see more of the mule deer i will give you more information on this animal.
