What does a gerenuk eat?

Gerenuk, also known as the long-necked giraffe gazelle, are primarily browsers and their diet consists mainly of:

* Leaves: They are known for their ability to stand on their hind legs and stretch their necks to reach leaves high up in trees and bushes.

* Twigs: They will also browse on twigs and shoots.

* Fruits: They are opportunistic and will eat fruits when available.

* Herbs: While browsing is their primary feeding method, they may occasionally graze on herbs.

They are well-adapted to their arid habitat in East Africa and are known for their ability to conserve water by obtaining moisture from the plants they eat. They are also known to have a strong sense of smell which helps them find their food.
