Even before autocorrect there were typos. This one got baked in long ago.
Actually these deer don't verbalize, so they were originally called "Mute Deer"

I can't believe how many people, after having seen the photo, thought this was a serious question.

Nice shot. (maybe because they are stubborn, or could it be the ears).

I know that certain cattle are called Muly because they have no horns. IF I remember correctly, Mule deer have no antlers. Am I wrong about that? Someone will surely know.
Edit. I was wrong. I asked a hunter and he said it's the ears.

Big ears?
Yes, Barb, mule deer are called that because of their mule like ears, Google has spoken.
