四角羚Tetracerus quadricornis),又名四角羚羊,是分布在南亚辽阔森林的羚羊。牠们主要分布在印度泰米尔纳德邦恒河平原以南的地方,东至奥利沙邦,西至吉尔。也有一些在尼泊尔的干旱森林生活。

四角羚肩高超过半米,重约20公斤。牠们是黄褐色的,腹部及脚内侧是白色的。牠们的脚很幼,前肢有黑色斑纹。

Four-horned antelope 四角羚

(重定向自Tetracerus)
A specimen at the Field Museum of Natural History (Chicago, USA)

The four-horned antelope (Tetracerus quadricornis), or chousingha, is a small antelope found in India and Nepal. This antelope has four horns, which distinguish it from most other bovids, that have two horns (sparing a few such as the Jacob sheep). The sole member of the genus Tetracerus, the species was first described by French zoologist Henri Marie Ducrotay de Blainville in 1816. Three subspecies are recognised. The four-horned antelope stands nearly 55–64 centimetres (22–25 in) at the shoulder and weighs nearly 17–22 kilograms (37–49 lb). Slender with thin legs and a short tail, the four-horned antelope has a yellowish brown to reddish coat. One pair of horns is located between the ears, and the other on the forehead. The posterior horns are always longer than the anterior horns, which might be mere fur-covered studs. While the posterior horns measure 8–12 centimetres (3.1–4.7 in), the anterior ones are 2–5 centimetres (0.79–1.97 in) long.
