The blackbuck (Antilope cervicapra), also known as the Indian antelope, is an antelope found in India, Nepal and Pakistan. The blackbuck is the sole extant member of the genus Antilope. This beautiful animal is covered with dark brown or black, sleek fur. The chest, belly, muzzle and chin of the males are covered in white fur. They eyes of the males are covered in white rings. The males have ringed horns that grow up to about 28 inches in length. In India, they are found predominantly in the states of Gujarat, Punjab, Rajasthan and Haryana. They are considered as one of the fastest running animals on earth. The IUCN List has declared this species as Nearly Threatened. Hunting of blackbuck is prohibited under Schedule I of the Wildlife Protection Act of 1972. Many national Parks have taken firm steps in the conservation of this species.
