Do you know what gerenuks are? If not, you need to watch this video on Twitter featuring two of these “cute animals” as it has gone viral on social media. Parveen Kaswan of the Indian Forest Service shared the 46-second video on Wednesday and it has garnered over 13,000 views so far.
The two gerenuks were filmed playing around in a forest grassland while on a “date”. The male gerenuk made an attempt to impress his partner, Kaswan said in the caption of his post. It plucked leaves from a plant while his partner also made an effort to do so.
“These cute animals are gerenuks. And they are on a date, male trying best to impress partner,” Parveen Kaswan said in the caption of his post.
This is such a sweet video:
