Rai said they never had any record of the four-horned antelope living in Saranda before. "We have found antelope excreta in Saranda during our month-long study, but are yet to spot the four-horned animal. The four-horned antelope Jamshedpur, June 12: The forests of Saranda in West Singhbhum district, 180km from here, may be home to the elusive chousingha or four-horned antelope, listed as vulnerable by the International Union of Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and protected under Schedule I of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. The study group, Rai said, comprised Justus Joshua and Wesley Sunderraj, both principal scientists and directors of Green Future Foundation, and zoologists Rakesh Kalwa and T. Kar. If we can establish the chousingha population in Saranda, it can become a great destination for wildlife tourism," he added.
