The gerenuk or waller's gazelle is a species of antelope found in dry thorn shrubland and desert. They are found in the Horn Of Africa and the African Great Lakes region. They are also called the giraffe-necked antelope because of their long neck. Gerenuks whistle when they are annoyed, make a buzzing sound when alarmed, a loud bleat when in danger and a soft bleat when communicating with their young. Gerenuks can also go their whole life without drinking water!
Diet
A gerenuk eats leaves and shoots from prickly bushes. It also eats flowers, fruits and buds. They obtain moisture from the plants it eats so it doesn't need to drink water.
