blackbuck
Spiral-horned grazing animal
A blackbuck is a medium-sized antelope native to India and Pakistan, named for the dark brown to black coloring of adult males.
Females and young males are yellowish-brown.
Once abundant, blackbucks have declined dramatically due to hunting and habitat loss, though they remain culturally significant in South Asia and are protected there.
