It does not occur in eastern Bengal, or Assam, or on the Malabar Coast. Nilgai avoid dense forests. Their usual haunts are hills sparsely dotted with trees or level or undulating plains covered with a grass and patches of scrub. They freely enter cultivation and are a source of damage of crops. They feed till late in the morning and again early in the evening, caring little about the sun, seeking the shade only during the hottest hours of the day. They both graze and browse, feeding on the leaves and the fruit of the Ber (Zizyphus sps.) and other trees. The females and their young live in herd of 5-10 and always use the same places for resting and drinking within their home ranges. The adult bulls may be solitary or live in small groups.
