The bush baby of African nights — small, doe-eyed primates with enormous forward-facing eyes for night vision, vast membranous ears that fold flat when resting, and extraordinary leaping ability; galagos can jump up to 2.25 metres in a single spring using powerful back legs; their plaintive cry in the African night sounds disconcertingly like a crying human infant, giving rise to the name bush baby.
Ethiopia's grass-eating monkey — the only primate that feeds primarily on grass, living in the high Simien Mountains in bands of hundreds that graze like sheep; males have a dramatic hourglass-shaped bare red chest patch that flushes brighter during excitement and serves as a substitute for the rump displays used by other primates.
The giraffe gazelle of East African thornbush — the gerenuk has an extraordinarily long neck and legs that allow it to stand bipedally on its hind legs to browse up to 2 metres high in acacia bushes; the only antelope that routinely stands on its hind legs to feed; a Somali name meaning giraffe-necked describes it precisely; unlike most antelopes, it never drinks water, obtaining all moisture from browse.
The tallest living land animal, with an extraordinarily long neck and legs and a patchwork coat unique to each individual.
The largest living primate — gentle vegetarian forest dwellers of Central Africa, organized in family groups led by silverback males, with tragic conservation crises across all four subspecies.
