The blackbuck, also known as the Indian antelope, is a species native to the Indian subcontinent. It is characterized by its striking black and white coloration, with males displaying long, spiral horns that can reach up to 80 centimeters. Blackbucks are primarily found in grasslands and open savannas, where they graze on grasses and herbs. These animals are social and often form herds, typically led by a dominant male. Blackbucks are known for their incredible speed, capable of running up to 80 kilometers per hour, which helps them evade predators such as tigers and leopards. Conservation efforts are in place to protect their dwindling populations due to habitat loss and hunting.
