Unfortunately with the lens I had with me, I couldn't fit the whole Deer in the frame. Sri Lankan Sambar Deer (Rusa unicolor unicolor), Horton Plains, Sri Lanka
Sri Lankan sambar deer (Rusa unicolor unicolor) 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. Large males weight up to 270–280 kg. Sri Lankan sambar live in lowland dry forests and mountain forests. Large herds of sambar deer roam the Horton Plains National Park, where it is the most common large mammal.

The sambar (Rusa unicolor) is a large deer native to the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. The appearance and the size of sambar vary widely across their range, which has led to considerable taxonomic confusion in the past; over forty different scientific synonyms have been used for the species.
Sambar are found in habitats ranging from tropical seasonal forests (tropical dry forests and seasonal moist evergreen forests), subtropical mixed forests (conifers, broadleaf deciduous, and broadleaf evergreen tree species) to tropical rainforests.They are seldom found far from water. Sambar primarily live in woodland and feed on a wide variety of vegetation, including grasses, foliage, browse, fruit, and water plants, depending on the local habitat.
The annual Sambar Hunt on St. Vincent NWR is a tradition in many hunting circles, and a family tradition for some. This photo shows three generations of the Lovestrand family as they prepare to depart the island at the conclusion of the 2008 Sambar Hunt. Erik, pictured waving, is a biologist and Education Coordinator for the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve which manages nearby Cape St. George, an adjacent barrier island across West Pass.

Road killings of wild animals are a very real and acute problem in Valparai. Despite all the notices, drivers will just not stop speeding through this important wildlife corridor.

Capt. Larry Covell (blue sweater) of Wheelhouse Charters, was our affable charter captain. He helped us load all the gear up in Apalach, and put us right on the West Pass Hunt Camp shore at first morning's light, before anyone else had arrived. His landing ramp, and the fair weather, meant we didn't get our feet wet, either! Photograph by USFWS Volunteer Robin Rickel Vroegop.

A Peculiar Neck Wound - The Sambar Deer,Female
MTR, Lower Nilgiris, Nov 2014
A Peculiar Neck Wound & a Hairless Patch with an unusual hairless, blood-red spot located about halfway down the underside of their throats seen in the Adult males and females Sambars of Nigiris & Deccan Plateau ..... The wound is apparently glandular in nature and sometimes oozes a white liquid. From what I heard from locals it is only seen in the Sambars of the South & is there only for a certain period of time of the year....... Some say it is hormonal others that it is some sort of an infection others genetics............. Did not get the clear and confirmed answer...... Thought of sharing...... may be someone out there can enlighten me more.....
This is another picture of Peter Bollinger's deer on the first day of hunting. Not to leave any stone unturned, we gave him a good look and let him be. Hunting in California
Former refuge biologist, the late Thom Lewis, stands behind biologist Joe Reinman as he gives the customary Wednesday evening sunset hunt talk. Thom was now in training to be a pilot biologist, but he volunteered to assist with the Sambar hunt in December of 2008; a pleasant surprise for many of us who have worked with him as volunteers for years.
***** Tragically, Thom passed on in June of 2011. He was on a training run with a pilot - instructor at an Eglin AFB airfield when their small plane crashed. A memorial service for Thom was held on St. George Island, Florida on October 1, 2011. You can view tributes to Thom on a Facebook open group called, "R.I.P. Thom Lewis".

I suspect this is a female Sambar Deer, Cervus unicolor.

This is a picture of Peter Bollinger's Sambar deer the day before and too far off and still undecided if he was the one he wanted to commit to. Hunting in California
Three generations of Lovestrand Family hunters attending the customary Wednesday evening sunset hunt talk. Though they have hunted the island before, there are always changes to be informed of, and also, Closed Area boundaries can change from year to year, depending on where our St. Vincent breeding eagle pairs decide to build their nests! On far left in photo is Erik's son, then Erik in brown hat and jacket; to the right of Erik in photo, is his dad.
. . . while the guys, who have camped here a number of times before --- well, I think there was a kitchen sink in there, too. But I have to say that Neil thought of everything, and they ate like kings! Here, the Weymouth Party and Robin Rickel Vroegop pose before regretfully leaving the island at the conclusion of the 2008 Sambar Hunt on St. Vincent NWR
