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.”

GOOD NEWS!👏
The famous White giraffe in @IshaqbiniHirola Community Conservancy, Garissa has given birth to her second white baby! It's a family of three now.
Congratulations to the mother and good job to our rangers for monitoring & protecting the white giraffes. @kwskenya pic.twitter.com/fbA20J4Yts

Said Mohammed Ahmednoor, manager of the reserve in Garissa County, Kenya” “This is a very sad day for the community of Ijara and Kenya as a whole. We are the only community in the world who are custodians of the white giraffes.”
