The blackbuck is a species of antelope native to the Indian subcontinent. It is also known by several other names, such as Indian antelope, Krishna jinka, Kala hiran, and Sasin. This graceful animal is characterized by its striking coat, which is usually a rich chestnut or dark brown on the upper body, and white on the underparts and inner legs. The males have long, spiral horns that curve backward, while the females have shorter, straighter horns. Blackbucks are often hunted for their meat and skin, and their population has declined rapidly due to habitat loss and hunting. Conservation efforts are underway to protect this beautiful species and promote its recovery.
