Incredibly rare with what appears to be only a handful sightings in the wild captured on film, white reticulated giraffes are pale in color thanks to a genetic condition called leucism.

Unlike albinism, in leucism skin cells don’t produce pigmentation, but soft tissues, like dark eyes, do.

UPDATE: Unfortunately, these two white giraffes have recently been killed by poachers in north-eastern Kenya, BBC reported.

A third one, which is now known as the world’s only white giraffe, has been fitted with a tracker to deter poachers.
