Conclusion:• I think mule deer are very interesting animals
because they can adapt to live in almost any terrain as long as they have food and water.
• I have seen mule deer many times on my way home from fishing at Cuyamaca Lake and hiking with my dad in the mountains.
• Sometimes I have seen their hoof prints in the moist sand.
front hoof -> <- rear hoof
• I like how they can blend in so well into their surroundings that you can walk right by them and not even see them.
