Sadly Short Time After This Video Poachers have killed These two extremely rare white giraffes in northeast Kenya, leaving just one such animal in the world. The two giraffes to be killed were a mother and her seven-month-old calf. The mother’s other male calf is the one that survived.

The white appearance of the giraffe is due to leucism, a genetic condition that causes skin cells to have no pigmentation. “The white giraffe made headlines in 2017 after its discovery, with its unique white hide. It is white but not albino, because of a condition known as leucism. Unlike albinism, animals with leucism continue to produce dark pigment in their soft tissue, thus her eyes were dark in colour,”
