Rucervus duvaucelii
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Kanha National Park, aggregated onto a 25 km grid. A cell is matched by its centre, which can sit up to 16 km outside the boundary, so this covers the surrounding country too.
Occurrence records measure where people looked and found something, which is not the same as where the animal is. This is a relative likelihood, not a probability.
A grid cell is a square of the map, not a sighting: 1 square of 25 km carry records for Barasingha in and around Kanha National Park, and the 1 records behind them were collected by other people and published openly. Nothing here counts animals, and a place with more records is not always a place with more animals.
Commonly known as the swamp deer, the Barasingha is a large species distinguished by its complex antlers. While other Indian deer possess fewer branches, mature stags of this variety usually carry 10 to 14 tines, and sometimes as many as 20. This trait earned them their Hindi name, which translates to twelve-horned. These deer stand up to 46 in at the shoulder and display a yellowish brown woolly coat that turns a bright rufous-brown during the summer months. White spots run along the spine, and a mane decorates the neck.
