The Indian antelope, also known as the blackbuck, has several synonyms that describe its appearance and behavior. Its impressive and distinctive spiraled horns have earned it the name "Sasin" in Hindi, while its graceful movements have led to it being called "Krishna jinka" or "black deer". The blackbuck's coat of fur, which changes color with age, has led to it being called "kala hiran". In certain regions of India, the blackbuck is also referred to as "vilaiti hiran" or "foreign deer" due to its non-native origins. Regardless of the name used, the Indian antelope remains a beloved and iconic symbol of both India's wildlife and culture.
