Staff say Kipekee has been fully accepted into the herd who see her no differently The zoo is now expecting an influx of visitors to see Kipekee, believed to be just one of a very small number of completely spotless giraffes. In a statement about Kipekee, the zoo said: "Born on July 31st – this is the rarest living giraffe on the planet. What makes her so rare? Simply put it is because she was born without a pattern. We know the last time this took place was in 1972 in Tokyo Japan. "How was she accepted into the herd? She was immediately accepted by the entire giraffe tower. They treat her as they see her no different than any other giraffe born here at the zoo. What can we do to help giraffes in the wild? Conservation will always be the most important thing we do. To help save this species we encourage everyone to help with conservation in the wild."
