Deer

Can you see a spotted deer over there? This mangrove forest is in Sunderban in the southern part of West Bengal (and Bangladesh) at Bay of Bengal. Our friend took this picture while he was on a boat over a river through the forest area. This deer seems to be quite unaware of the possible presence of the great Royal Bengal Tiger!
