On our Kenyan tours, we always include contrasting national parks for the greatest variety of wildlife and landscapes. This is a male gerenuk, a specialty of northern parks. Extremely long necks allow gerenuks to reach vegetation that other grazers can’t (not withstanding giraffes and elephants, of course). Males have horns whereas females do not. They also have much thicker necks than females. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 1800, f/5.6 at 1/500th of a second.

Their faces have a sweet daintiness about them: colorful ears, small features. Lovely portrait.
True. Even more so with the females.
