The Barasingha or Swamp Deer has a few remaining isolated populations in north and central India and Nepal.
It is a water-loving deer whose flooded grasslands and marshes are increasingly drained for agriculture.
A medium-/large-sized deer, it is over 4 feet high at the shoulders (larger than the Fallow Deer and the Sika).
Like many deer, the coat is redder in summer and browner in winter.
The stag has impressive antlers that are re-grown each year. Like most deer, the hind doesn't have antlers.
