Blackbuck : Whipsnade : 27 Sep 2015

Antilope cervicapra. The females were still on their own in the rear half of Dagnall Paddock, with the lone male separate in the Passage through Asia drive-through section.

They're still very 'flighty', leaping in all directions even when approached by a familiar keeper (here, about 25m out of shot to the left).

Thanks for the update.;)

Do you know if they will share the whole paddock with the Nilgai in due course?

I don't know I'm afraid. They certainly are quite content in the nilgai's company - if the nilgai are resting at the back of their (half of the) paddock next to the fence, then the blackbuck can often be seen laying down just the other side of the fence.
