\"\"A very rare giraffe with no spots was born in a zoo in Nashville, Tennessee.<\/p>\n

Zoo says experts believe she is the first known giraffe with no spots since the ’70s and may be the only one on the planet. The experts say it’s a good thing she’s in captivity. Their spots act as camouflage, so she’d have a pretty low chance of making it in the wild.<\/p>\n

They’re letting people vote on what to name her, but aren’t taking suggestions. The four choices are Kipekee, Firali, Shakiri, and Jamella.<\/p>\n

Giraffey McGiraffeFace isn’t an option.<\/i><\/p>\n
