How much does a Sambar deer weight?

It is hard to guess what a Sambar deer weights. But we have the answer:

An adult Sambar deer (Cervus unicolor) on average weights 176 kg (388.01 lbs).

The Sambar deer is from the family Cervidae (genus: Cervus). It is usually born with about 10.3 kg (22.71 lbs). They can live for up to 26.42 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 2.04 meter (6′ 9″). Usually, Sambar deers have 1 babies per litter.

As a reference: An average human weights in at 62 kg (137 lbs) and reaches an average size of 1.65m (5′ 5″). Humans spend 280 days (40 weeks) in the womb of their mother and reach around 75 years of age.

The sambar (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. Populations have declined substantially due to severe hunting, insurgency, and industrial exploitation of habitat.The name “sambar” is also sometimes used to refer to the Philippine deer, called the “Philippine sambar” and the Javan rusa, called the “Sunda sambar”.
