Elephants, wherever you encounter them, are wild animals. Close, unsupervised contact with any elephant should never be initiated. Do not climb into enclosures; do not get out of vehicles. Do not tailgate an elephant. Think of how you might behave if a stranger suddenly appeared in your living room. Or materialized out of a solid object. Think of how you would react to a dog nattering at your heels. Respect these great gray beings and they will respect you.
Dorothy ? 🙂 No, I’m afraid I have no idea. But certainly quite beautiful.
It’s a Gerenuk, found in Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania. Member of the antelope clan, only the males have horns. I love the impala coloring, the Yoda face.
It’s a Gerenuk. Cute fellow with a long neck. Isn’t is an off shoot of an impala and something else?
Yes, one of the antelope clan, like the impala, with impala coloring and a Yoda face!
A periscope with legs and lovely ears…a gerenuk!
Yes! And I love its Yoda face.
