At the Tarangire National Park in Tanzania, researchers recently caught a glimpse of something amazing: A white giraffe named Omo, hanging out with the rest of the gang. Omo was born at the reserve, and though many assume she’s albino, she’s actually leucistic. According to experts, albino animals lack melanin everywhere, including the eyes. Omo, however, has dark eyes and dark coloring on her fur, and indicator that she’s leucistic. Even so, Omo is incredibly rare and absolutely gorgeous. See photos of this unusual animal below.
