The Rare White Giraffe has been sighted in Kenya!! Two in fact, a adult and a juvenile. The giraffes were sighted upon a villager in Carissa, Kenya. Footage was recorded (click video below to see footage) of the White Giraffes along with a normal giraffe, so you can see the difference. So unexpectedly the footage of the White Giraffes is a worldwide news.
All though the juvenile has faded spots the rangers say the as the giraffe grows the spots will fade away and never come back. The Rare White Giraffes are seemed to be really noticeable but in realities they are just what their name says, The RARE White Giraffe. Experts say the the White Giraffe's lack color is not a lack of albinism, its actually a congenital disorder caused by the the absence of melanin, called Leucism. Leucism causes the skin to look patchy or entirely white. If you ever go to Africa keep your eyes pealed for the Rare White Giraffe.
