Blackbuck Antelope

The blackbuck, also known as the Indian antelope, is an antelope found in India, Nepal and Pakistan. It stands up to 29 to 33 in high at the shoulder. Males weigh an average of 84 lb. Females are lighter, weighing 60 lbs. on an average. The long, ringed horns,14–30 in. long, are generally present only on males, though females may develop horns as well. The white fur on the chin and around the eyes is in sharp contrast with the black stripes on the face. The coat of males shows two-tone coloration: while the upper parts and outsides of the legs are dark brown to black, the underparts and the insides of the legs are all white. On the other hand, females and juveniles are yellowish fawn to tan.
