Rare Baby Giraffe Born with no Spots Finally has a Name

(Tennessee) - A rare baby giraffe born with no spots finally has a name.

Crowds have been flocking to the Brights Zoo in East Tennessee to see what's believed to be the only reticulated giraffe without spots in the entire world.

Brights Zoo officials say attendance has more than doubled since the rare giraffe was born.

After entertaining more than 40,000 suggestions, the winning name is: "Kipekee." Fittingly, it means "unique" in Swahili.

The last reported case of a spotless giraffe was in Tokyo around half a century ago.
