The Swamp Deer, also known as Barasingha, is a species of deer found primarily in the wetlands and grasslands of the Indian subcontinent. They are characterized by their long legs and large, broad hooves, which help them navigate through marshy terrain. Swamp Deer typically have a reddish-brown coat and males possess distinctive antlers that can grow up to 90 centimeters long. These deer are herbivorous, feeding on grasses, aquatic plants, and shrubs. They are social animals, often found in small herds, and are known for their adaptability to various habitats. Conservation efforts are crucial for their survival, as their populations are threatened by habitat loss and poaching.
