Mule Deer (Odocoileus hemionus)
The mule deer is found in the mountains,
foothills and parklands of British Columbia, Canada. A graceful creature
with quick feet and accelleration. The mule deer can run up to 35 miles
an hour, can leap 4 foot fences and is a good swimmer. Some stories
indicate that a deer can swim up to 14 miles, therefore able to swim
from island to island on the west coast.
In the summer the mule deer grazes on the mountains
in the alpine pastures and in the winter it tends to come down to lower
elevations and lives off of twigs and woody browse. Winter is tough,
as deer do not paw through snow, but look for wind swept areas that
are cleared which attracts large numbers of mule deer in one area marking
easy prey for wolves, cougars and bears.
