Spotless Giraffe

[Tunn11]

Not sure whether this belongs here or not, but had it been seen in the wild it may have started a debate.

I'd have thought it was more all spot than spotless, interesting though.

I wonder if, as she gets older, she will show markings as a kind of 'dappling' under her solid coat colour?

They are looking for a name. I think Dotty would be nice. Or Spot (she does have only one).

I saw an all black giraffe in the Masi-Mara in 1985.

Now and again nature tries something different.
