The spotted deer is found in large numbers in dense deciduous or semi-evergreen forests and open grasslands.[9] The highest numbers of Chital are found in the forest of India where they feed upon tall grass and shrubs-Wikipedia.

Edited and uploaded group pics from recent spotting at Kanha. They were coming out one by one from the bushes and slowly the whole group was out. I loved the idea of clicking them with the reflections.
