Habitat:
Four-horned Antelopes are restricted to forest habitats and grassland margins, and mostly occur in open, dry deciduous mixed forests in undulating or hilly areas and never far from water; they are solitary and browse and graze (Rahmani 2001, Sharma 2006, Sharma et al. 2007, Leslie and Sharma 2009).
Range:
The Four-horned Antelope is distributed widely, but in scattered populations, over most of India, from the Himalayan foothills to peninsular India (Rahmani 2001); a few may remain in lowland Nepal. Sharma et al. (2007) recorded recent presence at 122 points and said that most local extinctions had occurred north of the Gangetic plains and in Maharashtra.
Conservation:
The species occurs in many protected areas in India (for example, Gir N.P., Panna N.P., Pench N.P., and Kanha Tiger Reserve). It is totally protected by law on Schedule I of the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act. It is listed on CITES Appendix III (Nepal only).
