Gerenuk

The gerenuk is a graceful antelope with an unusually long neck, earning it the nickname 'giraffe gazelle.' It lives in East Africa's dry regions, standing on its hind legs to reach high branches other antelopes can't. Males sport elegant lyre-shaped horns, while both sexes wear a two-tone coat of reddish-brown and light buff.

• Males have curved horns measuring 25–44 cm that sweep backward then forward.
• Gerenuks stand 80–105 cm tall and weigh between 18 and 52 kg.
• Their smooth coat shows two colors: a reddish-brown back and lighter sides.
