Despite some believes, the Sambar deer, specially the large males, are very dangerous animals, much more than the wildebeest.
 
Valmik Thapar in his book “Tiger: The secret life” (Yes, I bought this book too Rusa unicolor) are fascinating animals, powerful and impressive, they are the largest of the oriental deer, with some males reaching up to 160 cm to the shoulders and weight up to 320 kg, which is as large as some populations of red deer.
 
Here is an image with morphological data of this imposing animal:
