Critters: Is it a deer -- or a kangaroo?

So I took some pictures of deer grazing near the side of a road on the outskirts of Estes Park, Colorado.  When I downloaded the photos from my camera to my computer I was surprised to see one close-up shot that looked like a kangaroo!

Of course it really is a female Mule Deer.  Here's another shot of the same individual, showing her whole body.  Nope, definitely not a kangaroo.
