- "The Barasingha, also known as the Swamp Deer, is a deer native to the Indian subcontinent. It gets its name from its impressive antlers. Bärah-singgä means "twelve-horned' in Hindi. Mature males normally have around 10 - 14 tines, with reports of up to 20. Apart from their antlers, the Barasingha is one of the largest deer species in the region, with a shoulder height of about 110 cm and stags weighing in at 200 - 280 kg. While they can be found in wooded or drier areas, feeding on various types of grasses, their main habitat, as their western name suggests, is damp and marshy wetlands, where they feed on aquatic plants in the water."

Trivia[]
- The Barasingha, also called Swamp Deer, is most commonly found around wetlands and rivers, eating one of its main food sources, wetland plants.[2]
- At one point, the Barasingha was considered Critically Endangered. And while decades of conservation efforts have stabilized the population, the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) still lists this species as vulnerable. It's once wide spread population is now only represented by a few isolated populations, and certain populations in places like Pakistan and Bangladesh have gone extinct.[3][4][5]
