Sambar deer in its enclosure in zoo making eye contact with me while I was picturing it at a close range of about 2 meters.
Monochrome always shows the emotions, where as colors hide it, colors are deceiving.

This Sambar deer (Cervus unicolor) was sitting peacefully in the evening sunset. Played little bit with temperature to get this effect.

Sambar (also sambur, sambhur), is the common name for several large dark brown and maned Asian deer, particularly for the Indian species (Cervus unicolor), which attains a height of 102 to 160 cm (40 to 63 in) at the shoulder and may weigh as much as 546 kg (1200 pounds), though more typically 162-260 kg (357-574 pounds). The coat is dark brown with chestnut marks on the rump and underparts.
Sambars are primarily browsers that live in woodlands and feed mainly on coarse vegetation, grass, and herbs. They are diurnal animals who live in herds of 5-6 members, grazing on grass, sprigs, fruit and bamboo buds.
These deer are seldom far from water and, although primarily of the tropics, are hardy and may range from sea level up to high elevations such as the mixed coniferous/deciduous forest zone in the Himalayan Mountains sharing its range with the Himalayan musk deer.
Sambars are a favorite prey item for tigers. They also can be taken by crocodiles, mostly the sympatric Mugger Crocodiles. More rarely, leopards and dholes will take young or sickly deer.
Though they have no specific mating season, sambars commonly mate from September and on to January in the Northern hemisphere. Males defend rutting territories and attempt to attract females by vocal and olfactory displays. The males are solitary and highly aggressive toward other males during this time. Females may live in groups of eight. A male may have one whole group of females in his territory.
The gestation period for the females is around 9 months with one fawn born at a time. Sambar fawns have brown hair with light spots which they lose very shortly. Fawns stay with their mothers for up to two years.

Hunters listen intently while refuge staff give an update of regulations and orientation for first-time island hunters and returnees. In particular, the refuge staff and volunteers try to keep hunters abreast of changing marine weather and tide conditions. At the West Pass Campsite, hunters should be prepared to secure their vessels with additional anchors if the wind or waves pick up.
A Sambar Deer fawn speaks to a Common Langur, or so it seems. Frankly, I didn't even realize that the monkey was sitting there when I got this image. Got back to the hotel, reviewed the pictures on the computer, and there he was! :)
I am told that Langurs and deers have a mutual agreement. Langurs warn the deers of predators, and also keep tearing off leaves and branches to provide additional food to these guys. I do not know what they get in return from the deers. :)
