Description
A prompt given to me by my college pals, an alien creature resembling a Zebra Giraffe hybrid, ignoring it's more alien features.

I imagine it likely lives in an alien equivalent of a savanna, staying close to the plump trees of the grass lands. It only goes for the tallest leaves, standing high on it's back legs and supporting itself with the tree by gripping it's trunk. It's beak extends on a fish like pharyngeal jaw, extending to tear off the tough leaves of it's trees. The leaves are held in a crop to soften the hardy pieces before sliding down to the digestive system.
Males posses a warty colourful display sac above the chest, inflating it warbling it to impress females.
The tail spines are a defense mechanism, defending the rear from predators. Fecal dust collects on the spines over time and when threatned they will splay out and shake violently, discouraging any predator from nearing or possibly causing infection if inhaled.
