It is characterised by its long, slender neck and limbs, the flat, wedge-like head and the large, round eyes. Males are nearly 89–105 centimetres (35–41 in) tall, and the shorter females 80–100 centimetres (31–39 in); the head-and-body length is typically between 140 and 160 centimetres (55 and 63 in). Males weigh between 31 and 52 kilograms (68 and 115 lb); females are lighter, weighing 28–45 kilograms (62–99 lb). ctp3972g https://padlet.com/ctp3972g/v0m0bd7o0n14/wish/342759012 2019-03-19 09:59:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ctp3972g/v0m0bd7o0n14/wish/342759012 Its adaptation ctp3972g https://padlet.com/ctp3972g/v0m0bd7o0n14/wish/346077543 Its long legs can help it run away from some predators. It also helps it to reach the leaves on some trees. However, the Gerenuk can only run at a top speed of 43miles/h which is very sad as they cannot out run the cheetah and the lion. It will become easy prey for these animals.]]> 2019-03-28 11:48:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ctp3972g/v0m0bd7o0n14/wish/346077543 Its other adaptation ctp3972g https://padlet.com/ctp3972g/v0m0bd7o0n14/wish/346079557 Its brown and black skin helps it camouflage in the tall grass of the savannah. This adaptation is similar to the Lion's. This helps as the predator will not spot them so easily. However, the can still smell the gerenuk's scent.]]> 2019-03-28 11:53:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ctp3972g/v0m0bd7o0n14/wish/346079557 Its other other adaptation ctp3972g https://padlet.com/ctp3972g/v0m0bd7o0n14/wish/346081500 Its huuuuge (sarcasm) ears helps it hear very well in the savannah. they are not the only animals with the camouflaging ability. Unfortunately, its predators also have the ability to camouflage. The gerenuk needs its big ears to listen out for predators so that it can know which direction the predator is striking from.]]> 2019-03-28 11:59:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ctp3972g/v0m0bd7o0n14/wish/346081500 Video ctp3972g https://padlet.com/ctp3972g/v0m0bd7o0n14/wish/346084898 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esyE6HFTq4s]]> 2019-03-28 12:08:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ctp3972g/v0m0bd7o0n14/wish/346084898 MIGRATION ctp3972g https://padlet.com/ctp3972g/v0m0bd7o0n14/wish/346089560 2019-03-28 12:19:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ctp3972g/v0m0bd7o0n14/wish/346089560
