quinkin,

Horse in enclosure next door, trying not to look shifty.

randomaccount43543,

So it’s just a horse with a long neck?

abaddon,

Stupid long horses.

Reverendender,

It’s Tennessee, I’m surprised they didn’t immediately outlaw spotlessness. You know, to protect the children.

On Sunday, the zoo announced a naming contest for the baby giraffe, which visitors can now see at the zoo.

Let's all welcome Giraffey McGiraffeface!

DigitalTraveler42,

I wonder if this is an evolutionary response to being in a zoo and not having any predators.

Looks back at thumbnail.

Does this confirm that giraffes are brown with yellow lines, rather than yellow with brown spots? This could be huge for the giraffe community.

cbarrick,

Or maybe this one just has really big spots!

It’s this actually. Just like a tiger or leopard or any other uniformly multicolored mammals. It’s a mutation of a gene that’s supposed to tell the cells to stop being that color at certain points.
