New Born Giraffe with no spots

[caryc]

A solid brown colored new born giraffe was born in a zoo. Looks like maybe a horny camel was sneaking around where he shouldn't be.

We saw that last night on the news. Kinda neat to see. Also rare. Penny thought it was very cute.

That Mama Giraffe looks like she is white with brown spots. So, the baby giraffe would be white with one brown spot all over its body.

(Nothing racial intended as I know someone will bring it up.)

I got a bunch of Black cats and grey cats that hang around my place; HOWEVER in one batch of kittens, there was ONE that was slightly OFF WHITE with BLACK NOSE, BLACK EARS, BLACK PAWS, AND a BLACK TAIL; Hmmm it's a male, I may make him my indoor cat.
ps" was there an oriental cat in the family some where?

I'm about 20 miles away from there. Gonna have to go see it.

Better hurry before he starts to grow spots.

My family and I were at the zoo recently. My grandson actually feed bananas to the pregnant female. How cool is that?

Maybe he should have fed her these bananas.

My first thought was isn't this normal? But it seems not... I was thinking of Dalmatians I guess. Contrary to the movie, the puppies don't have spots.

I know what you mean...kind of like a very slow developing Polaroid picture.
