It never fails to amaze me. Just when I think I’ve seen everything there is to see,  something will come out of nowhere and surprise me. If you ever am have a particularly down day or lack in inspiration, I implore you to just take a walk and surround yourself with as much nature as possible.

It will do something to you.

The stunning giraffe photographed in the images below hasn’t photoshopped, she’s actually real!

The cute giraffe’s name is Omo, the 15-month-old beauty whose skin looks as if it was bleached, is actually suffering from leucism.

Leucism is a condition that results in a partial loss of pigmentation.

The gorgeous creature was spotted in  Tarangire National Park in Tanzania by Dr Derek Lee, founder and scientist at the Wild Nature Institute.

“Omo appears to get along with the other giraffes, she has always been seen with a large group of normally coloured giraffe – they don’t seem to mind her different colouring,” he explained.

“We and our partners are working on giraffe conservation and anti-poaching to help give Omo and her relatives a better chance of survival. We hope that she lives a long life and that some day she has calves of her own.”
