Mule Deer antlers are normally smaller and branch to form 2 equal forks, while the male White-tailed Deer has forward curving antlers with a number of points (tines) branching from the main beam. Vocalization Deer are not especially vocal, although young fawns bleat on occasion. Injured deer utter a startlingly loud blatt or bawl. Tail The tail is usually tipped in black with a white basal portion, and its under parts are white. Ears The Mule Deer large ear is gray on the outside and white on the inside. Feet Another physical adaptation, its larger feet, allows the Mule Deer to claw out water as much as two feet deep, which it detects with its keen sense of smell.
