The average is about 140 cm. They are found in the forested hillsides, preferably near cultivation, their food consists of grass, leaves and various kinds of wild fruit. They feed mainly at night and retire into heavy cover at daybreak and do not usually come out till dusk. Sambar takes to water readily and swims with the body submerged. Only the face and antlers are seen above the water surface. They are fond of wallowing in mud. The males fight for territory. The hard footed Barasinga (Swamp deer) and Sangai (Brow antlered deer) though belong to completely different habitats of Central India and floating vegetation of Loktak lake in Manipur can also be housed in similar exhibits like Sambar.
