=============================================================
Aug. 21 (UPI) -- A Tennessee zoo announced the birth of what officials believe to be the only spotless reticulated giraffe in the world.
The Brights Zoo in Limestone said the female giraffe was born at the facility July 31 and zookeepers soon discovered the baby was uniquely sold-colored.
Zoo director David Bright said the last known spotless reticulated giraffe, named Toshiko, was born at the Ueno Zoo in Tokyo in 1972.
The zoo is considering four names for the giraffe: Kipekee, Firyali, Shakiri and Jamella. Members of the public will be asked to vote on the potential names starting Tuesday.
