Gryphon

Seeing the Sambar deer shared the same hills as the world's largest and most powerful feline predator, the Tiger, ots no wonder they have evolved with great stamina, toughness and recuperative abilities.

Unusual the "spiker" like antlers on an adult animal. Perhaps related to the trauma of the earlier wound.

Tell me what was the venison like on this animal? Was it of good quality or did it show any effects of the trauma?

The "SpotX" is another very nice Sambar stag.

(Photos added. Gryphon I wasn't sure where the "spotx" photo belonged but added it above.)
