GERENUK 281 
This antelope—first described by the late Sir V. Brooke on the 
evidence of a flat skin—is in the habit of raising itself on its hind- 
legs when browsing, and is thus enabled to reach boughs at a very 
considerable distance above the ground 
Mr. Oscar Neumann pointed out in 1899 that the Somali and 
Abyssinian gerenuk (ZL. walleri sclateri) is somewhat different from the 
Fast African or typical gerenuk. The northern race is larger, with 
finer horns, a longer neck, a less rufous colour, and lacks the black 
knee-tufts, while the white markings of the tail are also different.
