Gerenuk!

Ivor is a Gerenuk, a giraffe gazelle, found in East Africa. Gerenuks mark their territory using a preorbital gland in front of their eyes that emits a scent-bearing tar-like substance. Their necks are exceptionally long, and their eyes and ears large. Males have stout and heavily ringed horns. Gerenuks’ short tail looks longer because it ends in a tuft of black hair. They also have scent glands on their knees that are covered by tufts of hair and between their split hooves. Gerenuks stand erect on their hind legs to browse on tall bushes and use their front legs to pull down higher branches. They do not eat grass nor require water as they get enough moisture from the plant life they eat. Ivor is a Gerenuk who lives as a solitary male.
