A common animal in the ever shrinking grasslands of the state. This one is a male and he was overseeing his herd while being watchful of the competition. There were atleast two other males who were eyeing the herd.

The place had a pretty large number of these Blackbucks - maybe 200-300 of them. A pattern we saw is that one male would have a large number of females in its protection along with a couple of other younger males too. When another male wants to lead the females, there is a small fight where each of them lock their horns and push each other. That quick battle decides the winner. I was able to capture some of the action and was happy that the battle was a quick painless affair.
