Indian Antelopes aka Blackbucks

Hirschziegenantilopen, Schwarzböcke

Antilope cervicapra

 

Tiergarten Schönbrunn (Vienna Zoo)

 

The blackbuck is an antelope native to India and Nepal. Male adults are dark brown to black on the back and the outside of the legs, while the rest is white, hence the name of the species. Females and juveniles, on the other hand, are tan and white. The helically coiled horns are only worn by males.

 

You can see males and females in this herd, but obviously not a single male adult.
