Nice environment composition. It nicely camouflages with the golden grass. Good eye contact. Thanks for sharing.

Nice to see this rare habitat image.Its a female.We All could see the image of this uniquely Indian antelope and the only wild animal on the earth having four horns.It has exceptional leaping abilities which you might have observed.Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild


P.S.:The does are hornless and the male has a pair of keeled spike horns and a pair of small horns(or just horny buttons) just below them but above the forehead.

Interesting image. The habitat looks nice. The male/herd should have been somewhere closeby. Did you get to see the deer with antlers? Thanks for sharing.

Thank you all for u r valuable comments....
@Murugan sir: deer with antlers...? no we did'nt find... this guy after hearing gypsy sound it crossed the road and went into the long grass gave few seconds to click this image and vanished inside the woods....

Great sighting. Some more space at the top and less at the bottom would have been even better. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
