- "The mule deer is a species of deer named for its ears, which bear a resemblance to the large ears of a mule. While native to North America, the mule deer has been introduced to other parts of the world like Argentina and Hawaii for hunting purposes. The mule deer is related to the whitetail and blacktail deer, but has evolved to be better than both at navigating its rugged home terrain. It stands larger than the whitetail deer, often reaching over 1.00 m at the shoulder and having a nose-to-tail length of 1.20 m to 2.10 m, additionally having significantly less variation across ranges. A highly sought after trophy animal and frequently hunted where found, the mule deer can present an incredible trophy"
