What the heck is a Nilgai? This creature, Asia's largest antelope. These photos are from Velavadar National Park but I saw these several places in India. They reminded me of the Eland in Africa, and they are sort of cobbled-together looking. It is a strange animal - also known as a blue bull. Very chesty and with a downhill slope to the body like topi, hartebeest, and giraffe. I had never seen this animal in a zoo that I am aware of, of heard of it, before I saw it - so it was one of the "new to me" species of the trip.
