Creature Feature #509: Nilgai

The Nilgai is Asia's largest Antelope. He is commonly found in the farmland or scrub forest of India. Some were introduced to Texas in the 1920s for trophy hunting, and now a wild population has established from escaped individuals. Although he prefers to live near waterholes, Nilgai can survive for days without water. Outside of the breeding season, Nilgai live in single-sex herds and soemtiems graze with other antelope and deer.
