Mystery Animal Contest: Who Is This Big-Eared Wrinklenose?So here are the rules: To answer follow us on Twitter and tweet at us with the hashtag #mysteryanimal. For example:Hey @PopSci is the #mysteryanimal a baboon?And then I might say if you think that's a baboon perhaps you are the baboon! But probably not because this is a positive environment and all guesses are welcome and also this is not a very common animal so guess whatever you want! The first person to get it right wins! We'll retweet the answer from @PopSci and also update this post so your amazing animal knowledge will be permanently etched onto the internet. Show your kids! Your dumb kids who thought that was a baboon!Update: And the winner is...Seth Rosenthal who for the second week in a row correctly guessed the mystery animal first! This creature is a gerenuk Litocranius walleri a species of antelope native to the dry brush and scrubland of East Africa. The gerenuk is also called the long-necked giraffe though it is not closely related to the giraffe. In fact it's the only member of its genus so it's not that closely related to any other species though it is in the same subfamily as the gazelles.The gerenuk's identification with the giraffe comes from both its long neck and its feeding habits. As the gerenuk lives in hot dry sparsely-vegetated areas it has to reach high up to find leaves and twigs to eat--so it stands up on its super-muscled hind legs reaches its long neck up and can plug leaves off the acacia tree that gazelles and other antelopes can't come close to. Their appearance is adorable and odd; it looks as though they have enormous ears but in fact their ears are proportional to the rest of the body. It's the head that's curiously small. But it's not a huge animal only reaching about 41 inches tall. There are an estimated 95000 gerenuks in the wild; the species is listed as Near Threatened with habitat loss and fragmentation the key culprits. Hi gerenuk!Maybe you should disqualify zoologists from winning and ask the proposed winner about their career path.
