Rangayyanadurga Four–horned antelope Wildlife Sanctuary

The sanctuary spans 77 square kilometers of protected land, providing essential habitat for endangered four-horned antelopes within Karnataka's diverse ecosystem.

The Indian government established this sanctuary in 2011 to protect the four-horned antelope population, which increased from 50 to 200 individuals by 2022.

Local communities across thirty villages participate in conservation efforts through the eco-sensitive zone program, supporting the preservation of native wildlife species.

The sanctuary maintains optimal wildlife viewing conditions from November through February, when dry weather facilitates clear observation of animals in their habitat.

The sanctuary houses the four-horned antelope, characterized by two primary horns between the ears and two smaller ones on the forehead.
