One of the key species we look for when in Samburu National Reserve in the north of Kenya is the gerenuk. Gerenuks are nicknamed giraffe-necked antelopes and you can see why. They’ve adapted long necks to forage on taller bushes and trees. The real money shot is to get one standing on its hind legs to reach even higher. We always see that behavior a few times, and I captured it toward the end of this short video. Check out how fast their mouths move when they eat. None of the clips have been sped up, and in fact, a few of them have been slowed down. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, 4K at 120 fps.

Hey Sean, enjoying the film versions. Music has been pitch perfect.
Thanks Paul. It’s been fun capturing more than stills and putting these videos together. Now I just need to get that YouTube channel going.
I came for the Gerenuks, I stayed for the adult contemporary music.
Gotta know your audience Louis.
Excellent, Sean!
Clearly, he was not bothered by you watching him snack! A realyu fun video!
