The sambar deer gives the most visible alarm calls of all the deers. When threatened by a predator, they slowly lift up their tails to indicate to the rest of the herd that there is danger near by, so be on alert but no need to run yet. When they sense the danger to be very close, they lift up their front leg and stamp on the ground, telling rest of the herd "Be ready to run". The final call is the actual vocal alarm call, hearing which all the deer will run away.
