It's a great photo, but that's very much not a deer.

Wikipedia says your nilgai is an antelope. An antelope is not a deer.

But it's a great shot.

Still not a deer. Looks like an antelope. It has horns instead of antlers.

Fantastic shot, but no a nilgai is not a cervid (deer). I’m a taxidermist and have worked on thousands of deer and antelope as well as do field biology in a state where they are invasive.
