According to reports, heavy firing was reported from the Hamirpur, Mendhar and Barasingha sectors of Poonch in Jammu. |
Central India is home to some of India's largest intact forest tracts and iconic and endangered species including tigers, barasingha and gaur. |
Besides home to many rare species, you can easily spot the larger sambar and the hard-ground barasingha, swamp deer, whose resurgence is Kanha's best success story. |
With its curved and branched antlers, the Kanha barasingha is often considered the most handsome deer. |
The barasingha deer, also known as swamp deer, occur in the moist habitats of Northern India and Nepal. |
Unfortunately, because of the threat from human beings and domestic cattle, the barasingha migrated from Kanha. |
