Cervicapra

/sɛrˈvɪkæprə/ noun

The blackbuck, an Indian antelope with long, spiral horns, scientifically named Antilope cervicapra or Cervicapra pygargus.

From Latin cervus (deer) plus capra (goat), because the animal combines deer-like and goat-like characteristics; the scientific binomial naming system preserves this descriptive term.
