I understand that the gerenuk is a rather shy creature, so you were very fortunate to be able to take such a beautiful photograph of one in the wild, and with such perfect focus.
I imagine their tiny, almost fragile looking legs, bode well for them amongst the thorny plants that they nibble on. And by standing still, their tiny features probably blend right in with the stick-type foliage, making them harder to detect by predators.
I saw on the Wikispecies site that the Deutsch vernacular name for this graceful little species is Giraffengazelle. I thought that was an appropriately lovely name.
