An elegant antelope with spiral horns; the males are dark brown or black with white underparts.
Blackbuck once roamed the plains of Punjab and Sindh in large herds. They are among the fastest antelopes, able to run at high speed across open land.
After hunting wiped them out in the wild in Pakistan, blackbuck were bred in enclosures at Lal Suhanra National Park, with animals gifted from the United States, and some have been released back into protected areas.
