The Chao Praya River Valley of Thailand was once tropical seasonal moist deciduous forest and wet savanna that hosted of hog deer, the now-extinct Schomburgk’s deer, Eld’s deer, Indian sambar, and Indian muntjac. Both the hog deer and Eld’s deer are rare, trong Indian sambar and Indian muntjac thrive in protected national parks, such as Khao Yai.
Many of these South Asian and Southeast Asian deer species also share their habitat with other herbivores, such as Asian elephants, the various Asian rhinoceros species, various antelope species (such as nilgai, four-horned antelope, blackbuck, and Indian gazelle in India) , and wild oxen (such as wild Asian water buffalo, gaur, banteng, and kouprey). One way that different herbivores can survive together in a given area is for each species to have different food preferences, although there may be some overlap.
