Nilgai

The Nilgai is th largest antilope found in India. It is also known as blue bull because when sunlight falls on the grey coat of male nilgai it gives it a tinge of blue color. It is a great ungainly animal, somewhat horse like in build, with high withers and a low rump.
They feed till late in the morning and then again early in the evening. They have the habit of resoting to the same spot to deposit their droppings, forming in this way considerable accumulations. They are found in lesser numbers than sambar or chital in Ranthambhore and frequent the open grassy examples.
