'Rocky Mountain' Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus) at Grand Canyon Village, Arizona, USA


The mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) is a deer indigenous to western North America; it is named for its ears, which are large like those of the mule. Unlike the related white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), mule deer are generally more associated with the land west of the Missouri River, and more specifically with the Rocky Mountain region of North America.
