The fact that the zoo is not considering Spot as a name is criminal.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

They should name it Spic 'n Span cuz it's spotless.
I can already see the unofficial nickname Tennesseans will give it.
How long until Tennessee Republicans aim legislation at the giraffe with no spots?
Also the children's book writes itself. Easy $1 billion to the first person that writes "The Giraffe Who Had No Spots."
Stop shoving you giraffe gender issues on my kids! It's making them corrupt and weird!
/s
At what point are we just going to call it a long necked horse?
Well it turns out that giraffes are brown with white netting.
Reminds me of a lion's pelt, all it needs is a mane
on the contrary, I see that giraffe sporting one all encompassing golden brown spot
Ummm.. Actually... it's one giant spot. The white is a "background" coloring (see presumed-Mom, to the right).
Homie is absolutely RIPPED
Lil homie has more gains than I do and he's just been born. WTF I hate human biology.
Said it once gonna say it again,
Lookin like a perfectly toasted marshmallow
Mmmm... Giraffe smores
That’s one weird ass horse
Somebody forgot to texture.
papa giraffe should've been suspicious of the lion that keeps visiting them
I wonder if this is a reflection of the ancestral coloration of giraffes (loss/improper functioning of the genes that give them spots) or a neat individual mutation? I bet the genetics would be fun to look at
That's a camel, not a giraffe!
There's camel in the zoo sweating buckets right about now.
That's the 3rd one this week
Nonetheless loved by its mommy. Love diversity 😁
