Rare White Giraffes

Postby Canyon » Mon Sep 18, 2017 4:10 pm

Rare white giraffes were discovered near the Ishaqbini Hirola Conservancy in Kenya. The female and her baby displayed the characteristics of a genetic condition known as leucism, which inhibits pigmentation in skin cells.

They must be stunning to see in the bush!

I saw them on MSN earlier. Boy do they stick out compared to the normally colored brethren.

Quite striking.
