Black Buck

---

 Native to the open plains and grasslands of India, the Blackbuck is a fast and highly alert antelope built for speed and endurance. Mature males are distinguished by their dark brown to black upper bodies and long, corkscrew-shaped horns, while females retain a lighter tan coloration. Blackbuck rely on keen eyesight and explosive speed to evade predators, often reaching impressive running speeds across open terrain.

For hunters, Blackbuck present a true challenge, requiring patience, precision, and careful shot placement in wide-open environments.
