Usually sambar deer are pretty relaxed around vehicles but this female did not seem to happy with our presence! Her tail up was the first sign that she was telling us to get lost! After I took this photo I realized we should leave her alone to respect her request! When photographing wildlife it is always important to read their behavior signs!!! This photo was taken in Ranthambore National Park!
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.

Its pretty HOT n absolutely no green grass left for them to feed on and no green leaves to fill their hungry stomach, so they wander into the water body n de aquatic plants to try their luck. Another advantage is easy escape from possible predators like de Big Cats!!
Unlike the southern counter parts, Sambar deers are mostly solitary, seen single or in pairs but during night they seggregate with other species for safety reasons but are extremely shy in South Indian forests. But here in Ranthambore, one can view them @ close quarters n enjoy their routines which is unique of the habitat or terrain.
We came across this young Sambar deer in Khao Yai National Park. The buck have large expanses of natural grass where they can forage and dense forest to find refuge from the sun.

The Sambar (Rusa unicolor) is a large deer native to southern 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.
While one of the many safaris we took in Tadoba in 2013, we were having a dry spell - so to say, as there was no sighting of the big Cats. We were crossing this path, when we saw this Sambar Deer run from our right side and came and stood behind our vehicle. He gave me just enough time to take this shot, under a dark canopy with beautiful soft light streaming through the Bamboo thicket!!
