Just weeks after a Tennessee zoo said it welcomed a rare spotless giraffe, another one has been photographed in the wild – this time in Namibia, Africa. The Giraffe Conservation Foundation announced in a news release Monday the spotless Angolan giraffe was seen on a private game reserve – and it is the first one ever recorded in the wild in Africa.
Brights Zoo in Limestone, Tennessee, made headlines last month when it announced a phenomenal giraffe without any markings was born. That giraffe, eventually named Kipepee, which means "unique" in Swahili, is believed to be the only solid-colored reticulated without spots.
Reticulated giraffes are a species commonly found in northern and northeastern Kenya as well as parts of Somalia and Ethiopia, according to the foundation.
