The nilgai is about the size of a mule.
The first group, or Tragelaphinae, is represented by the African elands (Taurotragus), bongo (Boocercus), kudus (Strepsiceros) and bushbucks or harnessed antelopes (Tragelaphus), and the Indian nilgai (Boselaphus).
Leopards still haunt the cane-brakes and thickets along the banks of the rivers; and nilgai and antelopes abound.
The nilgai is about the size of a mule (see Antelope).
There are also within these coverts several varieties of wild animals, such as the tiger, leopard, hyena, wild boar, nilgai and jackal.
