Blackbuck

/ˈblækˌbʌk/ noun

Definition

A small dark-colored antelope native to India, known for the males' spiral horns and dark coat.

Etymology

Compound of 'black' and 'buck' (Old English 'bucca', a male animal). Named for the male's distinctive dark coloring.

Kelly Says

Male blackbucks are counter-shaded with a white belly and dark back—this coloring pattern makes them nearly invisible when they leap in front of the sun, confusing predators about their direction.
