Kenya’s only female white giraffe and its 7-months-old calf have been killed by poachers in Kenya, this rare animals are found nowhere else in the world.


Their alabaster colour is caused not by albinism but a condition known as leucism, which means they continue to produce dark pigment in their soft tissue, giving them dark eyes.


The bodies of the two giraffes were found “in a skeletal state after being killed by armed poachers” in Garissa in eastern Kenya, the Ishaqbini Hirola Community Conservancy said in a statement.


The dead female giraffe gave birth to two calf’s, that’s a miracle that there is one remaining white giraffe alive – a lone male, born by the same slaughtered female, the conservancy said.


Mohammed Ahmednoor, the manager of the Ishaqbini Hirola Community Conservancy in northeastern Kenya, where the giraffes lived, said that rangers had confirmed their deaths and that there were photographs of the skeletal remains.


Conservationists estimated from the state of the carcasses that the animals had been killed four months ago. The Kenya Wildlife Service said it was investigating the killings.

a-koala-climbed-in-a-car-drawn-by-the-air-conditioner

A cute koala teddy bear found the opportunity to cool off in an air-conditioned car near the Australian city of Adelaide.

 Inside was just a dog, who studied the uninvited guest with interest.

 The teddy bear relaxed on the leather seats and was no longer showered when the driver appeared.

 The man is a wine grower and had come to see what was left of the vine.  Concerned for the comfort of the dog, he had left the air conditioning on in the car and the door open.  That's for his quadruped not to be overpowered by heat, but to be able to get out of the car if he wanted to.

 It is not always for those who are preparing, and the little koala bear has not resisted the temptation.

Koala is a marsupial mammal in Australia and the only living member of the family Phascolarctidae.  It is often called "koala bear", but this is not correct, as koala is not part of the bear family.

Koala mammals live in eastern Australia, where eucalyptus trees are the richest.  They manage to climb and stay on the tree trunks with the help of large, sharp claws.  During the day they fall asleep in the hiding places of the trees for up to 18 hours.

unilever-will-abandon-the-words-light-and-white-on-the-labels

Unilever will no longer use the words “light”, “white”, “brighten” on product packaging, the company announced.


 The company explained that the words “white”, “light”, “brightening” suggest a universal ideal of beauty and this, according to the company's management, is not correct. To correct this mistake, they intend to change the name of a number of facial skin care products.


 In particular, it will change its name to a cream that is produced in Asia under the Fair & Lovely brand ("Bright and Sweetheart"). It is presented in the lightening cosmetics category, although the manufacturing company itself indicates that it only heals the skin.

Earlier, a similar decision was announced by Johnson & Johnson. She intends to stop selling cosmetics that make skin tone lighter. Such changes began after African-American George Floyd was killed by a policeman during his arrest. In support of African Americans and the struggle for their reputation, brands began to participate in various actions and movements against racism.

the-rooster-maurice-who-won-the-right-at-the-france-court-to-sing-in-the-morning-died

The French rooster Maurice, who won the right to sing in court in the morning, died at the age of 6, his owner announced.


 Corrine Fesseau, the owner of the rooster, said that Maurice died in early May of Coryza - an infectious disease often found in chickens, informs The Guardian.


 "I found him in the hen house, I did everything I could," Fesseau said.

 Maurice's owner said she waited to announce the rooster's death because the coronavirus pandemic was more important.  "Covid-19 was more important than my rooster. Maurice was an emblem, a symbol of rural life and a hero," said Corinne Fesseau, who buried Maurice in her garden.


 The Maurice choir became famous after a retired couple moved to the French island of Oleron and sued the owner of the rooster because Maurice was singing early in the morning and Corrine Fesseau did not silence him.


 The case last year became a symbol of the misunderstandings between the rural and the urban population.  Many French people in big cities are looking for the countryside for a quiet second home, but not everyone accepts the sounds and smells of these areas.

 A court in France rejected in September 2019 the complaint of Corrine Fesseau's neighbors and asked them to pay Corrine damages of 1,000 euros.

4-extremely-rare-white-lion-cubs-were-born-at-the-zoo-and-their-photos-melted-the-hearts-of-people

The majestic white lion is considered extremely rare due to the fact that it gets its color due to a genetic mutation that occurs infrequently. These animals are not albinos - the white lion owes its unique coat to leucism, due to which the animal's coat loses some of the pigment, while the color of the eyes and nose remains normal, without acquiring a pinkish tint.


Currently, only about 13 white lions live in the wild, and about 100 individuals live in captivity. About a month ago, four snow-white lion cubs were born at the Chinese zoo, and as soon as the zoo published a few photos of the cuties, the hearts of people around the world melted like ice cream in the sun.

 

These white lion cubs were born at Nantong Forest Safari Park in Jiangsu, China on November 6

According to the forest safari park, the cubs are perfectly healthy and grow very quickly. And after a month of 24/7 care by the caretakers, the lion cubs are being prepared for their first public debut on December 26.


Currently, only 13 white lions live in the wild, and about 100 are in captivity.

According to the Global White Lion Protection Trust, white lions are not yet recognized as a separate species. Because of this, although they are so rare, they are not considered endangered, so these animals are not protected by law.


Despite its rarity, the white lion is not considered an endangered animal, but is only recognized as "vulnerable"

“White lions are listed on the Panthera leo and are classified as 'vulnerable', which means they could become endangered in the future if the trade in this species of lions is not strictly controlled,” the Global White Lion Protection Trust writes on its website.
