Kanha tiger reserve of India has ‘Bhoorsingh the Barasingha’ as its official mascot.

– Kanha Tiger Reserve, located in Madhya Pradesh, became the first tiger reserve in India to officially introduce a mascot, ‘Bhoorsingh the Barasingha’ (swamp deer), in 2017.
– The aim was to connect people with wildlife and encourage conservation efforts, particularly focusing on the barasingha, which is the state animal of Madhya Pradesh and a species found in abundance in Kanha.

Barasingha (Rucervus duvaucelii) is a vulnerable species of deer. Kanha National Park is particularly famous for its conservation efforts for the hard ground barasingha, saving it from near extinction. The mascot initiative helps in raising awareness about this unique species and the park’s ecosystem.
