Blackbuck

The blackbuck, also known as the Indian antelope, is a medium-sized antelope native to India and Nepal. What sets the blackbuck apart from other antelopes are the adult male's horns, which are long (20 - 24 inches), spirally twisted, V-shaped, and covered with pronounced ridges nearly to the tips. In addition, there is a striking contrast between the black-and-white coloration of mature male blackbucks and the reddish-yellow coloration of females.

Did you know...blackbucks are extremely shy and cautious and incredibly fast running at a speed of 50 mph. The only predator that can outrun them is a cheetah.
