Gerenuk is one of the few antelopes that regularly stands upright on its hind legs to reach leaves and shoots that other grazers cannot, giving it access to food high in thorny shrubs.

It is found in the dry bushlands of Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, and Somalia, and survives without regularly drinking water by getting most of its moisture from the plants it eats.

This unique feeding strategy helps it thrive in hot, arid habitats where water is scarce.
