Sambar deer (Rusa unicolor) 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.

In general, they attain a height of 102 to 160 cm at the shoulder and may weigh as much as 546 kg, though more typically 100 to 350 kg, head and body length varies from 1.62 to 2.7 m, with a 22 to 35 cm tail.

Sambar Deer are water-dependent, so they are never found far from water, but otherwise can be found in a broad range of forest habitats: dry deciduous forest, rainforest and mixed forests.

Over the past thirty years, populations of Sambar Deer have declined more than 50 per cent across South-east Asia. Threat facing to them are illegal poaching for meats and antlers which has sped up the population declines in Lao PDR, Cambodia and Vietnam.
