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, which help them navigate through marshy areas, and their distinctive antlers, which have multiple tines. Swamp deer are herbivorous, feeding on grasses, leaves, and aquatic plants. These deer are typically found in small herds and are known for their strong swimming abilities. They are classified as vulnerable due to habitat loss and poaching. Conservation efforts are in place to protect their natural habitats and ensure their survival in the wild.
