Spotless All-Brown Baby Giraffe Spotted In The Wild In Namibia
<p>Only a few weeks ago, officials at Brights Zoo in Limestone, Tennessee, announced the birth of a spotless giraffe calf on July 31. That captive-born giraffe was later given the name Kipekee (key pahy KAHY), which means “unique” in Swahili, after a public vote. Kipekee is a reticulated giraffe, <em>Giraffa reticulata</em>, a species that is native to Somalia, southern Ethiopia, and northern Kenya.</p>
<p>Unlike captive-born Kipekee, this newly documented giraffe calf was born in the wild in central Namibia. It was photographed near the <a href="https://www.mount-etjo.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Mount Etjo Safari Lodge</a> on a private game reserve by wildlife photographer and field guide writer, Eckart Demasius, according to the <a href="https://giraffeconservation.org/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Giraffe Conservation Foundation</a> (GCF), who originally contacted me with this news.</p>
