The photos below were taken on a
Joshua Tree Adventure Tour. Look towards the right center of the two photographs and you will see a doe with her fawn under a Juniper Tree. The mule deer (
Odocoileus hemionus) is a deer whose habitat is in the western half of North America. It gets its name from its large mule-like ears. Adult male mule deer are called
bucks, adult females are called
does, and young of both sexes are called
fawns.
