    I have never seen these before. They are wild looking. Are they endangered? Great shot of them.

  • Michael Sheridan replied

    Thanks, Ginny – technically, they’re not endangered. But this is Africa and you never know. They live in a “hot” area and I don’t mean just in temperature. I’m sure that the Somali population is history.

  • Michael Sheridan replied

    Thanks, Dave – usually these gerenuks won’t let you get close to them, but this pair was an exception. I have some good full body shots with the original background that I might upload later.

    Fabulous shot. They are such exquisite animals. Saw them in Loisaba but only fleetingly since they are so shy. The textures in your shot look almost painted and the background in perfect.
