EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph showcases the impressive skull of Cervus unicolor brookei, also known as the Sarawak Sambar Deer or Brooke's Sambar. The deer is a native of Borneo and is one of the largest deer species found in the region. The skull, displayed against a black background, highlights the deer's powerful jaws and distinctive features, including its large, curved antlers and elongated brow tines. Cervus unicolor brookei is an even-toed ungulate, belonging to the family Cervidae and the order Artiodactyla. It is a placental mammal, meaning that it develops inside its mother's womb and is nourished by the placenta. The deer is a member of the suborder Cervinae, which includes other deer species such as the Red Deer and the Reindeer. The Sarawak Sambar Deer is named after Sir Charles Brooke, who ruled Sarawak from 1841 to 1917. The species is native to the rainforests of Borneo and is an important source of food for local communities. The deer is also hunted for its antlers, which are used in traditional medicine and as decorative items. The anatomy of the Sarawak Sambar Deer is adapted to its forest habitat. Its large, powerful legs and hooves enable it to move quickly and quietly through the dense undergrowth. Its keen sense of smell and hearing help it to detect predators and navigate its environment. The deer's antlers, which are shed and regrown annually, are used in mating displays and for defending against predators. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of animal anatomy or deer specimens. It provides a unique and up-close view of the Sarawak Sambar Deer's skull, revealing the intricate details of its anatomy and the evolutionary adaptations that have enabled it to thrive in its rainforest habitat.
