World's only known white giraffe fitted with tracker to deter poachers.
The world's only known white giraffe has been fitted with a GPS tracking device to keep poachers at bay in north-east Kenya. 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. He is thought to be the last of his kind, after poachers killed two of his family members in March.
Their carcasses were found in a conservation area in Kenya's north-eastern Garissa County, where the male giraffe is currently living alone.
