When on safari, keep your eyes peeled as you never know what strange creatures may be around the next corner!

One such is the gerenuk, also known as the giraffe gazelle. This fascinating creature has a long neck, hence its name.

It is a medium-sized antelope, between 80 and 105cm tall, weighing between 18 and 52kg and found in parts of East Africa. Only males have 25–44 cm horns which are lyre-shaped curving backward then slightly forward.
