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!

Re: Rare White Giraffes
I saw them on MSN earlier. Boy do they stick out compared to the normally colored brethren.
Quite striking.
