The Mule Deer (Odocoileus hermionus ) is a deer whose habitat is in the western half of North America. It gets its name from its large mule-like ears. Its closest relative is the White-tailed Deer. The two species often share natural habitats, and can be mistaken for one another. The most noticeable difference between the two is the color of their tails; the mule deer's is black tipped. Mule bucks also tend to grow slightly larger than their white-tailed counterparts, and have somewhat more prominent ears.
