The gerenuk is, unsurprisingly upon inspection, the longest-necked antelope on earth. Found in the Horn of Africa, they use their lithe appendages to reach high-growing foliage.

不難發(fā)現(xiàn),非洲瞪羚是地球上脖子最長的羚羊。它們生活在非洲之角,用輕盈的四肢擷取高處的樹葉。

Gerenuks can also stand on their hind legs and use their gangly forelegs to feed - sometimes reaching up as high as eight feet.

非洲瞪羚還能用后腿站立起來,然后用細長的前腿輔助進食——有時候能達到8英尺高。

Their somewhat comical stature is only enhanced by their large ears, which help them keep cool in the searing African heat.

一對大耳朵使得它們的形象更為滑稽,可以幫助它們在炙熱的非洲保持涼爽。
