    I believe this is the first photo of yours that is not a bird. Seriously though, your birding is world-class, definitely keep up with it, please :) Posted 9 years ago

The Gerenuk

The gerenuk /ˈɡɛrəˌnʊk, ɡəˈrɛnək/, also known as the giraffe gazelle, is a long-necked antelope found in the Horn of Africa and the drier parts of East Africa. The sole member of the genus ''Litocranius'', the gerenuk was first described by the naturalist Victor Brooke in 1878. It is characterised by its long, slender neck and limbs.
