Explanation

The Chausingha or four-horned antelope is unique in having four horns - two pairs between its ears. This small deer species found in India and Nepal is the only living mammal with this trait. The name 'Chausingha' literally means 'four horns' in Hindi. Elk have large branched antlers, blackbucks have spiral horns only in males, and bharal have simple curved horns.
