Barasingha (swamp deer) — size comparison — facts and sources

The barasingha, or swamp deer, inhabits tall grassland, reedbeds and wetlands. Males have spreading, many-tined antlers. Barasingha means twelve horns, although tine numbers vary and may exceed twelve.

It lives in herds and chiefly eats grasses and aquatic plants. Male coats become more reddish-brown during breeding. Stags then compete for females, using antlers in clashes.
