It is sexually dimorphic: males and females differ in appearance and size. Male blackbucks have a dark brown coat, with a white underside and lower legs. It has distinct white rings around its eyes and a white chin on an otherwise black face, and long twisted horns that grow out of his head in a V shape. Females have a tan coat with a white underside. They have a white nose and no horns. Males stand around 73cm to 84cm tall at the shoulder and weigh 20kg to 57kg, while females are smaller and lighter at a shoulder height of 67cm to 77cm and weight of 20kg to 33kg.
