    Well it turns out that giraffes are brown with white netting.

    The fact that the zoo is not considering Spot as a name is criminal.

        I can already see the unofficial nickname Tennesseans will give it.

    Ummm… Actually… it’s one giant spot. The white is a “background” coloring (see presumed-Mom, to the right).

    I wonder if this is a reflection of the ancestral coloration of giraffes (loss/improper functioning of the genes that give them spots) or a neat individual mutation? I bet the genetics would be fun to look at
