Though I love my pets, I also like reading about the unusual, what do you think?

This man never gave up, he finally found him! September 13, 2005—He had only a ghost of a chance, but after more than a decade of searching, a wildlife researcher has captured proof of a white giraffe. In this photo released September 6, the unusual beast and its companions stroll through a wilderness preserve in the African country of Tanzania.

Charles Foley of the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) first heard reports of the white giraffe in Tarangire National Park in 1993. For 12 years he kept an eye out for the living legend while conducting his daily business of studying the park’s savanna elephant populations.

“By 1994 the sightings stopped coming in, so I assumed it had died, either at the hand of man or beast,” Foley said in a WCS press release. “I never stopped looking though.”

Sorry, I can’t seem to link the photo. Like all other all white or albino animals, isn’t he magnificant? Look up his name for the pic.

Wow, that is amazing. It is too bad you weren’t able to send the picture but I can see why. Other people would submit some strange pictures here if it was possible. A white giraffe is probably rarer than a white tiger.
