These include reticulated giraffe, Grevy's zebra, beisa oryx and the graceful, longnecked gerenuk.

These were some of the smaller and mediumsized varieties - impala, Thompson's and Grant's gazelle, gerenuk and the like.

Large animals native to the park include Beisa Oryx, Soemmering's gazelle, gerenuk and Grevy's zebra.

Here, too, are dry country antelopes such as gerenuk and lesser kudu; and elephants - big solitary bulls with massive tusks that have wandered in from Amboseli.

Other grazing animals include Beira, Dorcas gazelle, Soemmerring's Gazelle, gerenuk and the Beisa oryx.

The hind legs also ended in four toes, but most of the weight was carried by the third and fourth, so it may have raised itself up on its back legs like the modern day gerenuk antelope to feed.

Unlike modern camelids, Stenomylus lacked padding on its hooves and has been compared to the modern pronghorn of North America and the gerenuk of Africa based on theories about its biomechanics.

Thus buffalo, zebra, many an antelope, and the white rhinoceros (which has a square lip) are grazers; while giraffe, okapi, antelope such as bongo and gerenuk, and the black rhino (with its pointed lip) are browsers.

We watched for gerenuk, that long-necked antelope that resembles a praying mantis in its way of carrying itself, and for the lesser kudu that we knew lived in this desert bush, but the sun was high now and we saw nothing.

The Bour-Algi Giraffe Sanctuary, situated 5 km south of Garissa, is home to endangered wildlife including the Rothschild Giraffe, Gerenuk and other herbivores including Kirk's dik-dik, Lesser kudu, Warthog and Waterbuck.

The gerenuk, Litocranius walleri, also known as the Waller's gazelle, is a long-necked species of antelope found in dry thorn bush scrub and desert in East Africa, from Somalia, Djibouti and eastern Ethiopia through northern and eastern Kenya to northeastern Tanzania.

The courtship behaviour is very similar to that of the gerenuk.

The gerenuk has a longer, heavier neck and a shorter tail.

It is often confused with the gerenuk due to their striking resemblance.

The most common herbivores in the sanctuary are giraffe and gerenuk.

Blossom is the first gerenuk born at the Denver Zoo.

The impala has a strong resemblance to the gerenuk in terms of colouration.

The word "gerenuk" appropriately means "giraffe-necked" in the Somali language.

The lesser kudu and the gerenuk might compete for evergreen species in the dry season.

The gerenuk is a very tall gazelle-like antelope.

However, the gerenuk has shorter horns and lacks the black thigh stripes of the impala.

They navigate either in solitude or in very small herds, resembling the social behaviour of the gerenuk.

The Denver Zoo welcomed an adorable baby gerenuk named Blossom this month.

The gerenuk, whose name comes from the Somali for "giraffe-necked," lives alone or in small groups in desert and bush country of eastern Africa.

Wildlife include giraffe, buffalo, elephants and desert antelope such as gerenuk and oryx.

Look out for Grevy's zebra, gerenuk and Beisa oryx, all endemic to this area.

With the birth of four female calves in 2010, White Oak became the only facility in the world to produce gerenuk through artificial insemination.

However, unlike the gerenuk, the lesser kudu rarely prefers Acacia species and does not stand on its hindlegs while feeding.

The gerenuk was first described by Anglo-Irish naturalist Victor Brooke in 1878.

The gerenuk antelope stands on its hind legs while eating from trees, as did the extinct giant ground sloth and chalicotheres.

Some months back she did catch a gerenuk, another kind of antelope, that happened to amble by while she was tending to her third adopted oryx.

These include reticulated giraffe, Grevy's zebra, beisa oryx and the graceful, longnecked gerenuk.

The lesser kudu browses primarily at dusk or at dawn, and is associated with the gerenuk and the impala.

The dibatag closely resembles the gerenuk, with which it is sympatric in eastern and central Somalia and southeastern Ethiopia.

However, there are also some features distinguishing it from the gerenuk, including major morphological differences in horns, horn cores, tail, postorbital area and basioccipital processes.

The reaction of dibatag towards gerenuk is obscure, with there being reports of their loose associations as well as avoidance of each other.
