Mule deer, (Odocoileus hemionus) are among the most readily seen mammals on the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. Surefooted and nimble, mule deer travel in and out of the canyon with ease as food and water dictate. The earliest trails into the canyon were likely built along deer paths. Mule deer are readily distinguished by their large ears. NPS photo by Michael Quinn

Never approach wild animals. Photograph all wildlife from the safety of your vehicle. Use telephoto lenses and observe quietly. It is dangerous, and illegal, to feed wild animals in a national park. Violators will be fined. Wildlife can become dependent upon handouts and lose their ability to hunt and forage. Such animals lose their fear of humans. They can become aggressive and bite, kick, or gore. Many are struck by cars while searching for handouts. Help us keep wildlife wild. Never feed or approach wildlife.

As always, the real stars of the show were the animals themselves. The National Park Service and the Celebrate Wildlife Day team are extremely grateful to the Arizona Game and Fish Department of Wildlife Education Adobe Mountain Wildlife Center for their participation and for sharing their in-depth knowledge of Arizona’s wildlife during demonstrations held throughout the day. The Wildlife Center at Adobe Mountain works in cooperation with the Arizona Game and Fish Department to provide rehabilitative care for sick or injured wildlife, and to be an outstanding resource for education concerning Arizona's unique assortment of wild animals..
