Oh, my deer! - it's sambar, the largest deer of India

And something's not right if even deers are licking their lips looking at you, is it?

Sambar Deer (Rusa unicolor unicolor) Sri Lankan Sambar Deer is a sub-species of sambar deer that lives in Sri Lanka. This subspecies is one of the largest Sambar deer species with the largest antlers both in size and in body proportions. Sri Lankan Sambar live in lowland dry forests and mountain forests.

Sambar are nocturnal or crepuscular. The males live alone for much of the year, and the females live in small herds of up to sixteen individuals. Indeed, in some areas, the average herd consists of only three or four individuals, typically consisting of an adult female, her most recent young, and perhaps a subordinate, immature female Like most deer, sambar are generally quiet, although all adults can scream or make short, high-pitched sounds when alarmed. However, they more commonly communicate by scent marking and foot stamping.

A Sri Lankan sambar doe (rusa unicolor unicolor), having emerged from nearby woodland, was browsing fresh grass shoots when she glanced my way. I like the delicate facial features in the female of the species. Photographed, on a misty morning, in Horton Plains National Park, Sri Lanka.
