Sambar Deer

The sambar is a large deer native to the Indian subcontinent, southern China and Southeast Asia. Its appearance and size vary widely across its range, which has led to considerable taxonomic confusion; over 40 different scientific synonyms have been used. In general it attains a height of 102 to 160 cm at the shoulder (Wikipedia, general species account).

Populations have declined substantially because of hunting, local insurgency and industrial exploitation of habitat (Wikipedia, general species account).
