BLACK BUCK (Antilope cervicapra) , the Indian Antelope, the sole species of its genus. This antelope, widely distributed in India, with the exception of
Ceylon

east
  of the Bay of Bengal, stands about 32 in. high at the
shoulder
 ; the general hue is brown deepening with age to black; chest, belly and inner sides of limbs pure
white
 , as are the muzzle and chin, and an area round the eyes. The horns are
long
 , ringed, and form spirals with from three to five turns. The doe is smaller in size, yellowish-fawn above, and this hue obtains also in
young
  males. These antelopes frequent grassy districts and are usually found in herds. Coursing black-buck with the cheeta (q.v.) is a favourite Indian
sport
 .
