About this species
The Chinkara is India's desert gazelle — lithe, fast and adapted to arid extremes. It can survive without drinking water for extended periods, obtaining moisture from vegetation. Desert National Park near Jaisalmer and the scrublands of Ranthambore's buffer zones offer reliable sighting opportunities. See Chinkara (Indian Gazelle) in Rajasthan's desert parks.
