Incredible Moment Rare White Giraffes are Spotted in Kenya
A pair of rare white giraffes, a mother, and child, have been spotted in Kenya and captured on video for the first time.
The unique giraffes suffer from a genetic condition called leucism, which prevents pigmentation in skin cells and results in a white, pale color.
, Unlike albinism where there is only an absence of melanin, leucism is a condition that is caused by a reduction in multiple types of pigment.
The footage of the distinctive giraffes was filmed in the Ishaqbini Hirola Conservancy in Garissa county by conservationists after locals tipped them off.
