A small four-horned antelope found in India and Southeast Asia.
From Hindi and Sanskrit catursingha or similar roots, where catur/chatur means 'four' and singa/singha means 'horn' or 'lion.' The English version blends these linguistic roots to describe the animal's distinctive four horns.
This animal's name literally means 'four-horned' in its native languages—it's one of the few antelopes with four horns instead of two, making it genuinely unique enough that ancient peoples felt compelled to name it specifically!
