- Cover photo description:
- Nilgai, Boselaphus tragocamelus, also called bluebuck, the largest Asian antelope family Bovidae. The nilgai is indigenous to the Indian subcontinent, and Hindus accord it the same sacred status as cattle both belong to the subfamily Bovinae. Accordingly, the nilgai is the only one of the four Indian antelopes that is still abundant. Nilgai is the Hindustani word for “blue cow,†which describes the blue-gray of adult bulls. Cows are orange-brown. The nilgai’s conformation, however, is more horselike than cowlike: it has a long neck with a short upright mane, a bony narrow head, a barrel-like chest, strong legs, and high withers sloping back to the croup.
