The Harem




In one of my posts about Mule Deers I wrote that a female Mule Deer chooses which male's harem to join.  This young female decided to stay in the harem with other four females. Why did she make this decision is difficult to say but the decision isn't final.  This female Mule deer can change her mind any time and find another harem.






The Male Mule deer is following his harem, soon he will join his females.








Like all females in the harem this female is very cautious.  







I like how curious Mule deers are.  They hide, hide and then they look at you trying to figure out what is your intention. That is exactly what this male deer is doing, he even stopped eating for a while.







Mule female deers usually give birth to two fawns, although if it is their first time having a baby they often have one fawn.


Generally, life is good!
