Rare White Giraffes Spotted In Kenya




Conservation rangers had heard rumors a white giraffe and her calf were wandering the plains of Kenya, but it was the kind of thing they had to see to believe. The gorgeous pair were finally spotted and captured on film for the world to enjoy. Other white giraffes have been spotted in Tanzania, as well. Incredibly rare with what appears to be only a handful sightings in the wild captured on film, white reticulated giraffes are pale in color thanks to a genetic condition called leucism. Unlike albinism, in leucism skin cells don’t produce pigmentation, but soft tissues, like dark eyes, do.
