It has a life expectancy of 20 - 30 years. It grows to a height of approximately 60cm at the
shoulders. It is one of the smaller members of the deer family and a fully grown adult mostly
weighs in between 20 - 30 kgs. The male members of the species have antlers that can reach lengths
of around 30cm, which have a distinctive 3 point formation.

Rutting takes place during the months of autumn and the antlers are shed in spring. They mainly
feed on grass, which is why they are mostly spotted in grasslands across the plains and low
foothills of northern India. They are, more often than not, seen as solitary animals. However,
during the mating season, which ranges around the month of September, they can also be seen in
pairs grazing in the alluvial grass plains. The gestation period of these shy creatures is 8
months. One of the ways of identifying them is from the "not long enough" appearance of their legs
in comparison to their bodies. If alarmed by you or any suspicious movement or sound, you can also
identify them from their long raised tails which are white on the underside. However, this
behaviour is not unique to them among the deer species.

Although the Hog Deer can be seen in various parks of India like Corbett, Manas and Dudhwa, the
best sighting chances, and that too in pretty large numbers, is at the Kazirangha N.P.
