Check out these awesome pictures of a rare white giraffe spotted in the Tarangire National Park in Tanzania. She was seen with the rest of her herd, who were clearly not bothered about her different colour.
An Ecologist, Dr. Derek Lee, caught this rare beauty on camera and has said the giraffe, named Omo, is leucitic.. Being leucitic is a condition that occurs when many of the skin cells are incapable of making a pigment while a few others do. So Omo isn't an albino but merely has a genetic condition.
Amazing stuff.
