Barasingha

The barasingha is a striking deer native to parts of India and Nepal, where it lives in scattered groups. Once found more widely across the subcontinent, it has disappeared from Pakistan and Bangladesh. This deer gets its name from its impressive antlers, which can have many tines.

• Its antlers often branch into 12 or more points.
• Small, isolated groups survive in central and northern India.
• Two separate populations still live in southwestern Nepal.
