The main photo goal in Samburu of just about everyone on our tour was a gerenuk feeding on it's hind legs, a unique behavioral trait of this antelope species, which can reach up to ten feet off the ground to feed. There were only two of us in the van that came across this one, and we waited quite awhile to capture the behavior in the open with the animal looking towards us. I don't think I've ever seen another animal that exhibits the muscle tone this specimen does -- he was really in prime condition. Canon 1Ds at ISO100, 500f4 at f5.6, incident reading to get whatever shutter speed I used, full frame.
