Check out the mom & baby white giraffes
This mother and baby giraffe was recently discovered in Kenya.They are not simply albinos.
Albinos have a mutation which prevents the development of the natural
pigment melanin.
Instead, these giraffes have a more complex mutation, leucism,
which actually prevents the formation of several natural pigments,
but it also does it incompletely.
Those afflicted often display a feint ghostly image of their pigmentation pattern.
This is very rare and only observed in one other instance in Tanzania.
But, you probably don't care about any of that.
You just want to see the white giraffes.
So, with no further ado here they are.
Go here;
P.S. Just because giraffes are supremely tall,
indeed, the tallest animals, and these 2 are white,
this, however, does not make them white supremacists.
