World’s First Spotless Baby Giraffe Is Born In Tennessee

Brights Zoo in Limestone, Tennessee is getting a lot of attention lately. Due to a unique little addition to their collection. It's a baby giraffe that was born last month. And like all other baby giraffes, it has the right number of arms and legs. Two eyes and two ears. Everything is just as it should be. There's just one thing missing. It's spots.

The baby giraffe was born completely spotless. And it's the first of its kind in the world, newslv.com reported. The new little lady is completely solid in a light brown color. At first glance it kind of looks like a horse. But then you realize the "horse" has very long legs and an abnormally long neck. It takes your brain a second to reconcile that it actually is a giraffe. And she couldn't be any cuter. She's standing tall at six feet and thriving in her new habitat with her mommy giraffe.

And the owner of Brights Zoo, Tony Bright, says this attention couldn't have come at a better time. Bright says the worldwide coverage of the story is shining a spotlight on the issue of giraffe conservation. Which is extremely needed right now, considering the wild giraffe population has dropped 40 percent in the last 30 years (newslv.com).

Brights Zoo is soliciting the public to name the new baby. The zoo has narrowed it down to four names, all with the meaning of unique or beautiful. Kipekee, Firyali, Shakiri, Jamella are the names being considered (newslv.com).

Now that baby girl giraffe is almost a month old, she's ready for viewing at the zoo. Brights Zoo posted on their Facebook page the announcement of the unique little animal. So cute!

Welcome to the world, little....whatever your name will be. - Wendy Rush, 96.3 KKLZ
