Wrote the NRT in a press release: “Her calf was the second birth reported in August last year, resulting in a family of three white giraffes. After this incident, only a lone bull remains. The white giraffes are not albinos, but have a condition called leucism, which allows them to continue to produce dark pigment in soft tissues, such as the eyes.”<\/p>\n
