The world's only known white giraffe has been fitted with a GPS tracking device to keep poachers at bay in north-east Kenya since last November. A conservation group said rangers could monitor the lone male giraffe's movements in real time. The giraffe has a rare genetic condition called leucism, which causes the loss of skin pigmentation. The Ishaqbini Hirola Community Conservancy, which oversees wildlife in the area, said the tracking device was attached to one of the giraffe's horns to keep it safe from poachers!
