Rusa unicolor (Kerr, 1792)

Fig. 8 Sambar Deer

Notes.

This species is nocturnal and herbivorous feeding on a variety of plants including trees, shrubs, and grasses found in the forested areas they have been observed ( Suksawat et al. 2018). The sambar deer has been detected twelve times (Table 2 ) via camera trap in eight transects in national park forest and three different human-disturbed forest transects connected to national park forest; however, there was one opportunistic observation directly across the stream from the headquarters of the national park.
