Brights Zoo, located in Tennessee, has unveiled the name of its spotless giraffe, a phenomenon not seen since Tokyo in the early 1970s.
After an online poll, with nearly 40,000 votes, the zoo said it had settled on Kipekee, a Swahili word meaning"unique." The name won by a margin of 6,000 votes. The family-owned establishment believes that Kipekee is the only known solid-colored reticulated giraffe in the world.

"They treat her as they see her no different from any other giraffe born here at the zoo," Brights said.
