=> Scientific Name: Boselaphus tragocamelus .
=> It is the largest Asian antelope (family Bovidae).
=> The nilgai is indigenous to the Indian subcontinent, and Hindus accord it the same sacred status as cattle (both belong to the subfamily Bovinae).
=> Description: Nilgai is the Hindustani word for “blue cow,” which describes the blue-grey of adult bulls. It has a long neck with a short upright mane, a bony narrow head, a barrel-like chest, strong legs, and high withers sloping back to the croup.
=> Habitat: It lives in a lightly wooded forest, wooded grassland, scrub areas and agricultural areas and human settlements. Blue Bull usually avoids dense Forests
=> Social Behaviour: It is a diurnal and social animal. Generally, they are found in small herds of 4 to 20 individuals but can form large groups of 20 to 100 individuals. However, the adult male is also seen alone wandering widely at old ages.
