"Unprecedented: Spotless Giraffe Born at Tennessee Zoo, a One-of-a-Kind Wonder"
A rare spotless giraffe calf has been born at Brights Zoo in Tennessee, making it the first known case in over 50 years. The female giraffe, born without its characteristic spots, has a solid brown coat due to a genetic mutation. While the cause of the mutation is unknown, there are no indications of underlying medical issues. The zoo has asked the public to vote on potential names for the calf, and researchers are interested in studying the giraffe's spot pattern using infrared light or thermography.
