Nilgai Antelope Hunting

The Nilgai, or blue bull (Boselaphus tragocamelus), is the largest antelope in the Indian subcontinent, known for its bluish-gray coat. Males are larger, with curved horns and a tuft of hair on their forehead, while females are smaller and hornless. They inhabit scrub forests, grasslands, and farmlands, often in small groups, and feed on grasses and leaves. Agile and fast, they can escape predators effectively. However, they can be considered pests in agricultural areas due to crop raiding. Conservation efforts are crucial for protecting their populations, which face threats from habitat loss and hunting. Their unique traits make them a fascinating subject for wildlife study in India.
