The sambar deer emerges from the dense morning mist at HortonPlains NationalPark, its dark, muscular form barely visible against the ghostly white shroud of fog. Droplets of moisture cling to its coarse, chocolate-brown coat, shimmering faintly in the dim light. Its large, expressive eyes scan the silent forest, ears twitching at the distant calls of unseen birds. As it moves cautiously through the damp undergrowth, the mist swirls around its powerful legs, creating an almost ethereal, dreamlike scene—nature’s quiet masterpiece unfolding in the hush of dawn

The sambar (Rusa unicolor) is a large deer native to the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Although it primarily refers to R. unicolor, the name "sambar" is also sometimes used to refer to the Philippine deer (called the Philippine sambar) and the rusa deer (called the Sunda sambar). The name is also spelled sambur, or sambhur.
