Rare white giraffes spotted in Kenya
A video of a white female and baby giraffe that were first spotted on a reserve in Kenya in early August has gone viral.
The pair was discovered by villagers in the Ishaqbini conservancy in Garissa, eastern Kenya.
Officials from the Hirola Conservation Programme went to the area in search of the elusive giraffes to film them.
The giraffes have leucism, a rare condition which renders their skin mostly white but allows for pigment production on some parts of their bodies, including their eyes.
The white skin differs to albinism in humans, where pigment can’t be produced.
These rare giraffes have only been seen in Kenya and Tanzania.
