Mule deer are “picky” eaters. They are browsers, which means they eat leaves, stems, and buds from shrubs and trees — in contrast to grazers that primarily eat grasses and forbs. In fall and winter, up to 90% of a deer’s diet may be shrubs like mountain mahogany, sagebrush, bitterbrush, quaking aspen, and chokecherry. These plants help animals survive as they slowly burn off fat and wait for lush food to sprout in spring. So pick away, deer! #wildlifephotography #wildlife #CuteAnimals #FluffyAni
