There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

You mean this white female? :
She was born in Ross pride, not Giraffe.
No, I am talking about Giraffe pride. Girafe pride used to have 2 white females from which I am pretty sure one was sired by Old Ross males, but I do not know from which litter she came from.
Yeah there were two white females in the Giraffe pride, both sired by the Good and Bad, a blue eyed girl was of the 2009 litter, a hazel eyed girl was from the 2011 litter. Both were photographed on a kill by Johan Smalman at GomoGomo Lodge in 2013. The last remaining one was killed by the Mbiri males in 2017. To your point, you're right there is leucistic genes on both sides of a Xikukutsu x Blackdam mating.
