Semiadi, G. (1993) Grazing pattern of sambar deer (Cervus unicolor) and red deer (Cervus elaphus) in captivity.
NZ Journal of Agricultural Research
Objectives of this study were to construct time budgets of feeding activities of sambar deer over full 24 hours and to determine if these changed with season. Sambar spent more time grazing during night, late afternoon and late evening, compared with red deer who were seen to spend more time grazing during the morning and afternoon and early evening. Sambar grazing was closely related to sunset and sunrise whereas red deer didn't display a close relationship with the sunset/sunrise cycles
