Sheila’s Wildlife Photos: ~Mule Deer in Rocky Mountain National Park~

These Mule deer images were taken in September, 2012 in Rocky Mountain National Park. They were in a meadow munching on vegetation; it was fun to photograph and observe their behavior.


Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) are indigenous to western North America and are found west of the Missouri River. They are named Mule deer, because they have big ears like a mule.



They do have big ears, but are so graceful.
I love their faces. Nice to see! I miss seeing and hearing the Elk in RMNP, especially in the autumn when they are bugling!
