Poster Art-Print Description:
A Southern Gerenuk. The Gerenuk is very selective about their food. They eat only the juiciest most nutritious plants (leaves, young shots of trees and thorny scrubs), this allows the Gerenuk to go long periods of time without water. Unlike any other antelope, the Gerenuk can stand on its hind legs for long periods of time, allowing them to feed on higher leaves. A minor adaptation in the skeleton and muscles of the limbs and vertebral columns enable this behavior. Throughout eastern Africa from Somalia to Kenya. It habituates from the flat thorn bush on the savanna to the dry desert.
