Sambar Deer is a large deer that inhabits much of Southern Asia and can be found in a variety of forest habitats. These hardy species are seen congregating in large herds in the national parks and reserves of Sri Lanka, India and Thailand. The Sambar deer found in Sri Lanka is a sub-species found only in the island nation known as Rusa unicolor unicolor. This sub-species is one of the largest found in the world, and has the largest antlers both in body and in size.

The Sambar ( or Sambar Deer ) is Asia's largest deer species and is the only widespread large forest and woodland deer in India.
Only the males have antlers.
In different national parks across India I have experienced that the sambar's loud alarm call ( a type of honk ) is a reliable indicator of the presence of a large predator in the area. After their warning call we have found tigers, leopards and Asiatic wild dogs.
The hairless area on the lower throat is called "the sore spot", and is apparently unique to this deer species.

I took this picture in Ranthambore national park, India. We got lucky seeing this male as the golden hour hit.
Clicked this Indian Sambar at the Tholpetty Wildlife Sanctuary in Wayanad district. It is my first shot of this deer. This deer which is a subspecies of the Sambar Deer is native to India and Sri Lanka. This subspecies is one of the largest Sambar subspecies. Large males weight up to 270-280 kg. Sambar live in both lowland dry forests and mountain forests. Unlike the other subspecies of the Sambar the Indian Sambar is not listed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List.
The sambar (Rusa unicolor) is a large deer native to the Indian subcontinent, South China and Southeast Asia that is listed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List since 2008. Populations have declined substantially due to severe hunting, local insurgency, and industrial exploitation of habitat.
The name "sambar" is also sometimes used to refer to the Philippine deer called the "Philippine sambar", and the Javan rusa called the "Sunda sambar".

This beautiful lake attracted deer and birds to its waters late in the afternoon. The deer were feeding on some reeds or plants growing on the bottom of the shallow lake. These deer are bigger than the spotted deer and I hope I've correctly identified them as sambar. What a spectacular sight this was. Nature at its best.

Sambar deer are shy and elusive animals. They are most active at dawn and dusk, and they spend the day resting in dense vegetation. Sambar deer are herbivores and their diet consists of a variety of plants, including grasses, leaves, and fruits.

Sambar Deer (Cervus unicolor)
Above a highly alert herd of deers finally come to the water along the edge of the forest for safety. They do this only when approached by predators like Wild dogs. Sambar deers are one of the largest species of deer in India, esp. in Southern part.
this young sambar deer stag was very nervous and making alarm calls all the time. it takes a few moments than we discovered the reason: a female tiger was approaching the water hole. Ranthambhore NP, India
