Where have the Giraffe spots gone?!

Two giraffes have been spotted recently in Kenya without their spots! The Hirola Conservation Program, but not from congenital disorders like albinos, but from a genetic condition called leucism. Leucism results in the partial loss of color in an animal's skin, or hair, but not in other organs like their eyes. Leusicm means these animals can still have dark eyes, unlike their albino counterparts. Nat Geo also spotted a white moose in Tanzania's Taragire Nation Park, that has leucism, what gave away that he albino? Leucism left some colored spots!
