  1. Beautiful. Those antlers could do some serious damage, and judging by the scars on these two, they already have! Posted 11 years ago

The sambar is a large deer native to the Indian subcontinent, South China, and Southeast Asia that is listed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List since 2008. Populations have declined substantially due to severe hunting, insurgency, and industrial exploitation of habitat.
