These incredible snaps show a rare white giraffe grazing in the African bush.Omo the white giraffe has been spotted roaming around Tarangire National Park, in Tanzania, along with the rest of her herd - who don't seem to be bothered about her unusual colouring.
在这些难以置信的照片中，一只罕见的白色长颈鹿在非洲丛林中吃草。这只白色长颈鹿名叫欧默，人们发现它在位于坦桑尼亚的塔兰吉雷国家公园附近活动，同行的还有它的群落——它好像并未受到自己那不寻常颜色的困扰。

Ecologist Dr Derek Lee, founder and scientist at the Wild Nature Institute, caught the pale giraffe on camera.
生态学家德雷克·李博士拍到了这只白色的长颈鹿，他是“野性自然”机构的创立者和科学家。

Derek, 45, said: 'Omo is leucistic, meaning many of the skin cells are incapable of making a pigment but some are, so she is pale - but with red or blue eyes as a true albino would be.
45岁的德雷克说：“欧默得了白化病，它多数皮肤细胞无法产生色素，只有少部分可以，所以它是白色的——和白化病患者一样，欧默有着红色或蓝色的眼睛。

'Omo is the only pale giraffe we are currently aware of, but we have also observed leucistic waterbuck, cape buffalo and ostrich in Tarangire'. 'Her chances of surviving to adulthood are good - but adult giraffe are regularly poached for bush meat, and her colouration might make her a target.
欧默是目前发现的唯一一只白色长颈鹿。但除此之外，我们还在塔兰吉雷国家公园内发现了患白化病的非洲大羚羊，水牛和鸵鸟。欧默存活至成年的机率很大，但成年长颈鹿一般都会成猎物，它的（特殊）颜色可能会让它成为捕猎目标。

The pale giraffe enjoys roaming with a large group of regular coloured giraffe - who don't seem to mind her unusual colouring.
这只白色长颈鹿很喜欢和大群颜色正常的长颈鹿一起活动——长颈鹿群好像也不在乎它那不寻常的颜色。

'We hope that she lives a long life and that some day she has calves of her own.'
我们希望它能够长命百岁，并在未来某一天生下自己的小宝宝。

国外网友为这只长颈鹿也是操碎了心啊，看看他们的评论吧：
