Spotted!

Spotted Deer AKA Chital Deer AKA Axis Deer (Axis Axis) - is a deer which commonly inhabits wooded regions of India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, and in small numbers in Pakistan. The chital goes by various names in India, among which include: chital horin in Bengali, thith muwa in Sinhalese, Jinke in Kannada, pulli maan in Tamil and Malayalam, jinka in Telugu, phutuki horin in Assamese, haran/harin in Marathi, and hiran in Hindi/Urdu (the latter two derived from harini, the Sanskrit cognate for 'deer'). It is the most common deer species in Indian forests.

The word Chital is derived from the Bengali word "chitral" - meaning, "Spotted". I shot this image during one of my wildlife trips to Bandipur.
