Extremely rare mother and child giraffes filmed in Kenya:

They have a condition called leucism and they were filmed by the Hirola Conservation Programme which works in conjunction with the Rainforest Trust.

I can imagine these white giraffes being the basis for the unicorn myths! They are so otherworldly in their beauty.

But they have two "horns" (not true horns, but similar - they're actually classified as "giraffe horns," according to the mammology class I took in college), not one :wink:

In all seriousness, though, they are beautiful.
