Standing like a human

The Gerenuk rotates its hips 180 degrees to reach plants that other animals don't.


It conquered a niche to sustain itself in a highly competitive environment. This advantage allows the Gerenuk to feed at a height unreachable by Gazelles.



It is a very shy animal that is difficult to get hold of. Luckily, the following family was enjoying itself on a Sunday morning in the bush. Every member is as clean as it gets. This is not due to the occasion but rather to show predators that one is strong and healthy.

The Gerenuk is common around Shu'mata area.
