A rare sight in the Serengeti.
This unusually pale giraffe appears to show signs of leucism, a rare genetic condition that causes reduced pigmentation while still allowing some natural colour to remain, which may explain the darker markings visible on its legs.
Unlike albinism, leucistic animals usually retain normal eye colour and can show patches of regular pigmentation.
Spotting a giraffe like this in the wild is incredibly uncommon, making this a remarkable sighting from the Serengeti.
