An Asian deer or antelope, also known as a hog deer, distinguished by its small size and stocky build.
From Hindi/Sanskrit चरसिंघा (char-siṅghā), combining elements possibly meaning 'four' (char) and 'horned' (siṅghā), from Sanskrit siṅgha.
The charsingha has an unusual running style—it bounds more like a rabbit than a traditional deer, making it one of the hardest-to-catch prey animals for predators in Asian forests.
