As reported by "Good Morning America" and other sources, Brights Zoo in Limestone, Tennessee is leaving the task of naming of a highly rare baby giraffe to the general public. Sort of.
The giraffe's rarity owes to its spotlessness. No, not like Rob's arrest record or Zman's car floor -- it's stark lack of the same brown spots that its parents bear. It's the sort of thing that makes a father perk up and ask the mother where the hell she she was 15 months ago. (Sad answer: necking in another pasture.)
This adorable, spot-free giraffetus popped out on July 31.
According to Brights:
"She is the only solid-colored reticulated giraffe living anywhere on the planet."
Oh, wait... you're simply choosing from four names predetermined by the zoo. Vote before September 4 on their Facebook page if you'd like.
