'Pegasus' This stunning image of a nilgai and a Sarus Crane spreading  its wings instantly brought to mind the winged horse of Greek legend.  The nilgai <em>Boselaphus tragocamelus</em> is a commonly seen antelope  in central and northern India, as well as parts of Pakistan and Nepal. A  habitat generalist, it avoids dense forests, but occupies open  grasslands and the wetlands that are favoured by the Sarus Crane <em>Grus antigone</em>,  the world's tallest flying bird with wingspans that can exceed 2.5 m.  The story of this image involves a nilgai that approached a Sarus Crane  nest in which an egg had been laid. The photographer captured the image  in the Keoladeo National Park, Bharatpur, at the instant the bird was  chasing the antelope away!
