Four-horned Antelope


The Four-horned Antelope (Tetracornis quadricornis or choushinga) is an antelope found in wooded areas in central India.

Four-horned Antelope stand just over half a metre tall at the shoulder and weigh around 20 kilograms. Four-horned Antelope have a yellow-brown to red-brown coat with the underside and insides of the legs being white. The legs are very thin. Male four-horned antelope grow horns. Usually the animal has four; two just in front of the ears and usually a second pair right on the front of the forehead. This second pair may fall off on older males or may not grow at all.

Four-horned Antelope live near water and are very wary creatures. Four-horned Antelope are sedentary and may form territories, males tend to become very aggressive towards other males.
