Coues' White-tailed deer or Arizona White-tailed deer Odocoileus virginianus couesi
The Coues whitetail is an elfin deer, standing 32-34 inches at the shoulder and seldom exceeding 100 pounds live weight. Coues sport ears and tails appearing out of proportion to their small bodies, with hides generally lighter in hue than other deer species. The large ears facilitate heat dissipation during hot summer months, the grey hides blending remarkably well in their drab, rocky environments.
