The nilgai, also known as the blue bull, is the largest antelope in Asia, native to the grasslands and scrub forests of India and Nepal. Males have a distinctive bluish-gray coat, while females are tawny brown. These herbivores graze on grasses, shrubs, and leaves and are highly adaptable to different habitats.

Although nilgai are protected in many areas, they face threats from habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict, as they are often seen raiding crops. Efforts to mitigate conflicts and protect their natural habitats are essential for their conservation.
