On a safari to Corbett Tiger Reserve, guests at Jim’s Jungle Retreat are often treated to captivating encounters with the majestic Sambar Deer, the largest deer species found in the country. These impressive herbivores display distinct behaviors that leave a lasting impression. With their large size and magnificent antlers, they exude a sense of grace and strength. Guests may witness Sambar Deer grazing peacefully in open meadows or navigating through dense foliage with remarkable agility. Their keen senses and alertness to predators add to their charm. The thrilling experience of observing Sambar Deer in their natural habitat brings a sense of awe and appreciation for the beauty of wildlife at the Corbett Tiger Reserve.
This small group of Sambar Deer were recorded by our naturalist Jeewan Rautela on a recent safari.
