Wildlife Researchers In Africa Just Discovered One Of The Rarest Creatures On Earth.

Deep in the heart of Tanzania, Africa, lies Tarangire Park, a reservation that’s home to over 2,000 giraffes. Researchers are studying the park’s giraffes to identify them and learn more about these beautiful creatures.

But even the most veteran of these scientists has never seen something like what they’ve recently discovered.

Meet Omo, the only known white giraffe in existence.

“Omo is leucistic,” says ecologist Dr. Derek Lee. “This means many of her skin cells are incapable of making a pigment, but some are, so she is pale — but not pure white with red or blue eyes as a true albino would be.”

Young Omo was accepted by the other members of her herd, who don’t seem to care about the way she looks.

Hunting of giraffes is common in the nearby areas, and Omo’s unusual coloring puts her at higher risk of being spotted. 

But with her large family and the park staff to protect her, this 15-month-old wonder will hopefully grow up happy and healthy.

Omo is truly one of a kind! What a beautiful animal.

Share Omo with your friends who love animals!
