| generuk |
Also known as Wallers gazelle, this mammal is what I would call very strange indeed!
It is classified under nearly threatened. The gerenuk can stand on it's hind legs and eat from trees! it can be found in Africa.
Here are some facts that I only recently found out:
1. Gerenuk means ' giraffe neck' in the Somali language.
2. the gerenuk is believed to be independent of free water . the gerenuk is thought to obtain all the moisture it requires through its diet.
3.males weigh from 30-50kg and females weigh from 28-45 kg.
