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

They should name it Spic 'n Span cuz it's spotless.

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

How long until Tennessee Republicans aim legislation at the giraffe with no spots?

Also the children's book writes itself. Easy $1 billion to the first person that writes "The Giraffe Who Had No Spots."

At what point are we just going to call it a long necked horse?

Long horse

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
