What does SASIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
An alternative name for the blackbuck, a swift Indian antelope with long spiral horns and a coat that darkens with age in males.
The sasin lives in open grassland and dry scrub across the Indian subcontinent, where its speed lets it outrun most predators over open ground. Males carry the long, ridged, spiral horns that make the sasin instantly recognizable, while females are usually hornless and paler in colour. Hunting and habitat loss reduced sasin numbers sharply during the twentieth century, though protected herds now survive in several reserves. The name comes from a South Asian language and appears mainly in older natural history writing alongside the more common term blackbuck.
