A giraffe in Kenya has developed
a skin condition that has never been witnessed before in his kind.
According to Zoe Muller, a
biologist who has been documenting the unique case of the giraffe for almost
seven years now, the male giraffe living in the Soysambu Conservancy, Kenya is
the first wild giraffe to be diagnosed with vitiligo, a skin condition
characterized by white patches on the skin.
Muller first visited the
Conservancy in 2009. After taking photos of the giraffe, she noticed something
strange about the giraffe's color.
