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.

Though uncommon, leucism occurs in many species, including penguins, eagles, and hippos. Omo has been especially lucky: More than half of all giraffe calves die before they're six months old, as they're often targets of lions, hyenas, and wild dogs, according to the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. Not to mention, Omo's obvious appearance could attract predators all the more, hampering her chances of survival.
