The barasingha is considered a vulnerable species by the IUCN (1996). R. d. duvaucelii is considered a vulnerable subspecies, while R. d. branderi is classified as endangered. Most serious, however, is the status of C. d. ranjitsinhi: critically endangered. Rare Barasingha or swamp deer, the Hard-ground barasinghas (Rucervus duvauceli branderi) is found only in Kanha. In central India, the barasingha disappeared from all but the Kanha National Park. Even here, from an estimated 3000 individuals in the early 1950s, within a decade less than 100 survived. The number reached an all-time low of 66 in 1970.

Mediterranean house gecko. My first encounter with one; I had no idea they were around. Found in toilet during long dry spell last summer. Found a different one in the same bathroom a day later. It rained shortly thereafter and I haven’t seen any since.
