The barasingha, also known as the swamp deer, is a species of deer found primarily in the wetlands of northern India and parts of Nepal. It is characterized by its long, slender legs and distinctive antlers, which have multiple tines. Barasingha typically inhabit grasslands and marshy areas, where they feed on grasses, leaves, and aquatic plants. Barasingha are social animals, often seen in small herds. They are known for their unique adaptations to wetland environments, including their ability to swim well. Conservation efforts are in place to protect their habitats, as they face threats from habitat loss and poaching.
