The beautiful five-week-old giraffe’s name was revealed live on September 5 by officials at Brights Zoo, a family-friendly facility in Limestone, Tennessee, after weeks of online voting by the public.
Kipekee is the name! This beautiful name means “unique” in Swahili. Approximately 40,000 people voted for the name.
The zoo asked its followers to vote for four names: Kipekee, Firyali (meaning “unusual or extraordinary”), Shakiri (meaning “she is the most beautiful”) and Jamella (meaning “one of great beauty”).
Kipekee got just over 16,000 votes, defeating the name Shakiri, which received over 10,000.
Brights Zoo says it is the only known solid-color reticulated giraffe in the world. Its subspecies are the reticulated giraffes.

According to David Bright, Kipekee is the only giraffe of his breed born without spots since he was born in Tokyo in 1972.
“So there are no other living giraffes of this color,” he explained.
According to Limestone Zoo, the boy, born on July 31, is already 6 feet tall.
“She’s still very easy going, curious about everything and checking things every day,” Bright explained.
The story of this pristine beauty began when wildlife enthusiasts discovered it in a distant area of a national park.

Giraffes are characterized by their distinctive markings, which serve as concealment and unique identifiers. On the contrary, he broke the norm by having a very soft and flawless coat.
Giraffes’ spotted coat pattern provides more than camouflage in the wild. According to the Giraffe Conservation Foundation, each spot or patch contains a system of blood veins beneath the area that functions as a thermal window and allows body heat to escape.
