Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2002
Abstract
From what is known about the discovery of the gerenuk Litocranius walleri, the type locality is here restricted to the vicinity of Chisimaio, Somalia. Two discrete subspecies can be recognized. The smaller L. w. walleri occurs in north-east Tanzania, Kenya, southern Somalia and southern Ethiopia. The larger L. w. sclateri is restricted to Djibouti, northern Somalia and adjacent parts of northern Ethiopia and is present in very few protected areas.
