Rare White Giraffes

Spotless White Giraffes Sighted in Kenya

Africa is really full of wonders; pair of rare white giraffes were spotted in Kenya. The mother and child were spotted in one of the game reserve in Kenya.

The white female giraffe and her baby giraffe were spotted from Hirola Conservation area around August by game rangers. The area is managed by Hirola Conservation programme and an NGO dedicated to preserving the critically endangered hirola antelope which is one of rarest in the world.

This rare white giraffes suffer from genetic condition which is known as leucism that inhibits the pigmentation in the skin cells. Leucism is just like albinism in human being, animals having the problem of laucism will always continue to produce dark pigment in their soft tissue that explains the white giraffes’ dark eyes and other coloring. 

The rare white giraffes where first spotted in June by the local people, who reported to the game rangers about this white giraffes in the area. The blog of rare white giraffes was first established by Hirolaconversation programme.

This white giraffes where not secure with human presence even if when you get close to them they were extremely calm and seemed not disturbed by people presences. Actually the mother giraffes kept on pacing back and forth a few yards in front of people presence while giving signaling to it is baby giraffe to hide behind the tall bushes.
