0812ex graceful Gerenuk

This is a Southern Gerenuk, to be exact. I first heard of these beautiful creatures when I saw them in the grasslands of Kenya, while on safari last year. Their long necks allow them to browse for leaves, similar to giraffes. What is different is that they will stand on their hind legs to achieve even more height as they reach.

 

Only the males have these beautiful curved horns.
