Florida’s records for sambar deer are thin: just 5 total, and every one comes from GBIF rather than iNaturalist. NatureServe lists the species as exotic here, with an SNA rank meaning the state doesn’t formally track its conservation status, even though it’s ranked Vulnerable globally.
Reports cluster loosely around April, which logged 3 of the 5 records. With numbers this low, that’s not enough to call a real seasonal pattern, just where the handful of documented sightings happened to fall.
