KENYA'S ONLY WHITE GIRAFFE COLLARED TO WARD OFF POACHERS Conservationists have fitted the world's only known white giraffe with a tracking device — a last ditch effort to save the species from extinction The giraffe has a rare genetic trait, leucism, which results in partial loss of pigmentation in animals and causes white, pale, or patchy coloration of the skin.The bull is the last in a family of three after a female and her 7-month-old calf were slaughtered in March 2020. It was spotted in June, some 111 days after the other two were killed. Ishaqbini Hirola Community Conservancy in Ijara, Garissa County, where the giraffes lived, said the exercise to put the tracking device was done on November 8 at the request of the conservancy's board to the Kenya Wildlife Service. 👉[File, Standard- By Mercy Asamba] #endpoachingforever #savegiraffesfromextinction #whitegiraffes (at Somewhere in Kenya) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHst-Lugwcg/?igshid=535xx7w08uof

KENYA HAD THREE rare all-white giraffes. Two of them have been killed by poachers. The killing of a female and her calf left just one, a bull, out of a family of three that lived in the Ishaqbini Hirola Community Conservancy in northeastern Kenya.
