is a high-legged stag with rather short head, big, wide ears, wise long duster the Barasingha and reaches, claws (peels) far to be spread. The withers-height of the Barasingha reaches 115 cm, its weight for 230 kg.
The antlers possesses an Augsprosse. The lyre-shaped bent tall glass branches many times on its upper end. The name "Barasingha" means "Zwölfender", however also antlerses come along up to 20 ends before.
The summer-coloring is a shining one tawny. Light stains is only weakly distinctive. The winter-fur is more long-haired, particularly at the neck. The face wears a black mask on forehead and nose-backs. Otherwise, the coloring of the winter-fur is darker and blunter than in the summer.
Habitat and spread The Barasingha was widespread in wide sharing of India originally. Here, it lived in the reed-landscapes along the Indus and walk and other Indian rivers. Today, it only lives in some smaller retreat-areas in Nepal, Assam, North-India and central-India.
Way of life In the winter, the Barasingha forms head-strong herds, that dissolve to smaller troops with females and young as well as individual alto-stags in the summer. The antlers is thrown off in February, that fells Brunft, in October. The relationship at the season is not as strict as with the Central European stag-types.
Barasinghas äsen with day, however they rest in the hot noon. If they startle, they let a warning-tone, that reminds of the "barking" a deer-buck, heard. The enemies of the Barasingha are tigers, leopard and red-dog.
That is impresses and Drohverhalten of the male stag peculiarly: The Barasingha opens them for the too impressive opponent of turned pre-eye-gland, sinks the antlers easily and works out the ears with to the back directional opening downward. It becomes on that occasion on the occasion of a "Stechschritt", as with the threatening deer-buck, executed.
Reproduction The stag gives a lengthened, disyllabic reputation of itself for the combination-time. The females start after a Tragzeit of 240-250 days or two strongly spotted calves.
Endangering and protection The once gigantic continuances of the Barasingha let the destruction of its habitat through the installation of new arable lands and Wilderei melted down strongly. Today, it only comes continue the continuances in some preserves even before, and in these retreat-areas back. As one, that above all fire-clearances, with which the feed-plants of the Barasingha were destroyed, were blame at the continuance-declines, recognized, energetic precautions, with the success, were seized that itself the continuances quickly recovered. Thanks to this successful nature conservation, the strongly threatened Barasingha could be protected from the extinction.
Schomburgkhirsch (Cervus duvauceli schomburgki)) This stag was the eastern race of the Barasingha and became in the thirties of the 20. Century wiped out. The Schomburgkhirsch had a basket-good antlers, whose antlers-shoots were branched to approximately equally strong fork-branches (dichotom). The fur-color was uniformly maroon. By the Schomburgkhirsch, only few furs, antlerses and photographies are gotten.
