The Gerenuk 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. Gerenuks do not appear to drink water; they get enough water from the plants they eat. Because of this, they can survive in very dry habitats. The Gerenuk are able to stand on their hind legs and stretch their necks to reach foliage SIX to SEVEN FEET off of the ground!!
