Summary

[edit]
Description

The Blackbuck (Antilope Cervicapra) is an antelope species native to the Indian subcontinent that has been classified as near threatened. The blackbuck is the only living species of the genus Antilope.

Males and females have distinctive coloration. Male blackbucks are black and white and have long twisted horns, while females are fawn coloured with no horns.

The horns of the blackbuck are ringed with 1 to 4 spiral turns, rarely more than 4 turns, and can be as long as 79 cm (31 in). A trophy blackbuck is greater than 46 cm (18 in). In the male, the upper body is black (dark brown), and the belly and eye rings are white. The light-brown female is usually hornless.

Blackbucks generally live on open plains in herds of 15 to 20 animals with one dominant male. Blackbucks are very fast. Speeds of more than 80 km/h (50 mph) have been recorded.
