Blackbuck
Near threatened
Blackbuck is one of the fastest land mammals and can speed up to 48 mph
(80 km/h). This antelope had the ability to outrun its predator Asiatic
Cheetah, which became extinct in India in the 1960s. Currently, their
predators are tigers, wolves, jackals and wild dogs. Blackbucks inhabit
woodlands and clearings, while feeding on grasses, leaves and buds.
They live 10-12 years in the wild and 18 years in captivity.
