Do Mule Deer have eyelashes?
By admin | February 18, 2007
Only the females. They blink them in rapid succession when trying to attract a big buck.
Seriously, yes - mule deer have eyelashes. They have a regular set, similar to humans, and then an extra set made up of long (2 inches) black hairs, above and below the eye. Had you ever noticed? When browsing in thick forage or when running through thick cover, these extra eyelashes may come in handy. We still don’t know if they help does attract bucks, but suppose they do.
Can you see eyelashes in the accompanying photo? No? Look closer.
Happy hunting and may the Force be with you
