Very odd, indeed, Charlie. I don't think I've ever seen one of these before - thanks for sharing.

Charlie,

Gerenuk are really interesting antelope. You got 2 fine images that classically illustrate their physical and behavioral characteristics. The Swahili name is Swala Twiga (Antelope-giraffe). They also are adapted to extremely dry habitats and can exist on very little free water. They get most H20 from the vegetation and have physiological adaptations that extract the maximum amount. For example they extract about 75% of the water as the undigested material in the colon.

Good work.
