The black antelope, also known as the blackbuck, is a species of antelope native to the Indian subcontinent. Males are characterized by their striking black coat and long, twisted horns, while females are lighter in color. They are known for their incredible speed and agility, making them one of the fastest land animals. Black antelopes primarily inhabit grasslands and open forests, where they graze on grasses and herbs. They are social animals, often found in herds, and are known for their unique mating displays. Conservation efforts are in place to protect their populations, which have been threatened by habitat loss and hunting.
