A Mule Deer wading in water at Yellowstone

Wildlife Photo: Mule Deer

The Mule Deer gets its name from the large mule-like ears it has, much larger than most other species of deer.

This one was photographed in Yellowstone National Park. A handful of Mule Deer were wading through shallow waters in a brushy area. They can be found throughout the park and their coat of fur changes from rust to orange to grey and white depending on the time of year.
