White tails and mule deer even move differently. 

What's really weird (to me anyhow) is that mule deer are basically the same 
size throughout their range, whereas white tails are tiny in Florida and 
huge in Canada (get bigger as you go further north). If I remember right, in 
Montana white tails and mulies are pretty much the same size (maybe the 
mulies are a little bigger). I always considered white tails "graceful" 
leapers where mule deer looked like they were on pogo sticks when they ran.
