The specific name commemorates the French naturalist Alfred Duvaucel.
The swamp deer differs from all the Indian deer species in that the antlers carry more than three times. Because of this distinctive character, it is designated barasingha, meaning "twelve-tined."[4] Mature stags have 10 to 14 times, and some have been known to have up to 20.
