Nilgai

The Nilgai is the largest Asian antelope, with males having a bluish-gray coat and females a tawny color. Males have short, sharp, conical horns and a white patch on the throat. Nilgai more resemble a horse than a bull in stature and body structure. Typically 4-5 ft tall at the shoulder, and shoulders are set higher than hindquarters. Despite their size, Nilgai are agile and can run at high speeds to evade predators.
Nilgai meat is some of the tastiest in the world.
