Nilgai On Open Grassland, Zone 8

Nilgai (Boselaphus tragocamelus) — India's largest antelope — were observed grazing on open grassland in Zone 8 (Balas) during the golden morning window.

Nilgai favour the open terrain of buffer zones 6, 8, and 10. Their blue-grey coat contrasts sharply against dry golden grass, making them one of the easier species to photograph. Large herds at waterholes also attract tiger activity in summer.

Zone: 8 | Species: Nilgai (blue bull)
