Baby giraffe with no spots at Tennessee zoo could be unique

The spot-free giraffe born at the end of July is doing well and is being cared for at the zoo by her mum

Which animal is tall, has a long-neck and brown spots? Easy - it's a giraffe.

A baby giraffe in the US has broken with tradition having been born with no spots at all.

The brown-all-over calf was born on 31 July, at Brights Zoo in Tennessee.

Giraffes with all white fur have been born before, but a calf that's brown all-over is unheard of.

"Giraffe experts believe she is the only solid-coloured reticulated giraffe living anywhere on the planet," Bright's Zoo said.

This all-brown giraffe was born missing her spots, making her the only spotless giraffe on the planet, according to experts

The reticulated giraffe calf, being nurtured by her spotted mother, is only a few weeks old but she's already an impressive six feet tall.

The rare beauty has gained a lot of attention online and the zoo says it wants to use the opportunity to raise awareness about giraffes' struggle for survival in the wild.

Brights Zoo is also asking the public what they think the one-of-a-kind creature should be called. They've taken four names with Swahili inspiration and asked the public to comment on which name they think best suits her.

Which name do you think best suits the spotless baby giraffe? Let us know in the comments.
