Ken,
Nice documentation of a fascinating behaviour. I understand the interest of the "no hands" angle, but I think I preferred your previous similar shot in that I thought it was quite interesting how the gerenuk was using its "hands" to assist in its foraging in that one. Obviously this one better showcases its ability to balance solely on its hind legs.
