The barasingha (Rucervus duvaucelii syn. Cervus duvaucelii), also known as the swamp deer photographed in Kaziranga National Park, Assam, India. This is a vulnerable species with a total population of less than 2,150 individuals in India and about 1,600 in Nepal. The distribution of the species is much reduced and fragmented due to unregulated hunting and conversion of large tracts of grassland to cropland between the 1930s and 1960s.
