Swamp Deer, Stags or Rucervus duvaucelii in Kaziranga

The barasingha or swamp deer (Rucervus duvaucelii) is a deer species currently found in isolated localities in northern and central India, and southwestern Nepal, and is extinct in Pakistan and Bangladesh.The specific name commemorates the French naturalist Alfred Duvaucel. The most striking feature of a barasingha is its antlers, with 10 to 14 tines on a mature stag, though some have been known to have up to 20. The name is derived from this characteristic and means "12-tined or horned" in Hindi. In Assamese, barasingha is called dolhorina; dol meaning swamp. In central India, it is called goinjak (stags) or gaoni (hinds).
