Photographs of the gerenuk, the long necked antelope of Kenya's dry,
bushy regions, and IMHO the most graceful antelope I have ever seen.
The word gerenuk is Somali for "giraffe necked", and it is obvious why
it is called that! These were shot at Samburu Nature Reserve (where
Elsa the lioness was raised by the Adamsons):
