Meet The White And Black Giraffes, The Worlds Rarest Animals (9 Pics)

One thing we can all agree on, giraffes are awesome! They are a symbol of Africa and can be found all over the continent. These creatures are beautiful dressed in their normal skin, but here I present you the black melanistic giraffe and the white leucistic giraffe.

There is another rare condition, called leucism, which means only a partial loss of pigmentation at skin level. Affected animals have patches of white or discolored fur or feathers. In some cases, a leucistic animal can be completely white. Yet, this does not make it an albino, as it still has normally colored eyes.
