Brights Zoo in Limestone, Tennessee, recently welcomed a unique addition to their animal family—a spotless giraffe. According to the zoo officials, this baby giraffe was born on July 31 without any spots, making her potentially the only one of her kind on the planet. Upon birth, giraffes typically have visible spots, so it was immediately clear that this all-brown giraffe was special. Brights Zoo claims that she is the only solid-colored reticulated giraffe in existence, however, this statement has yet to be confirmed by the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. You can participate in naming the baby giraffe on their official Facebook page starting Tuesday.
The director of the zoo stated that they have been in contact with zoo professionals nationwide, seeking their thoughts and opinions on this unusual giraffe. To date, no one has seen a spotless giraffe like her. However, in 1967, there was a video of a spotless giraffe at a zoo in Japan. Despite her lack of spots, the newest addition to Brights Zoo is healthy and thriving. She has passed all her bloodwork evaluations, stands at an impressive six feet tall, and is being well cared for by her mother. The zoo’s founder also emphasizes the importance of giraffe conservation, as wild populations are rapidly declining, with a 40% loss in the last 30 years. This spotlight on their unique giraffe brings attention to these conservation efforts. (To learn more, check out the zoo’s Facebook page.)
