Authorities who found the bodies say there is just one white giraffe left in the wild.

The killing of the giraffe cow and her calf about four months ago leaves only one bull in the Ishaqbrini Hirola conservancy.

It is named for the extremely rare Hirola antelope also found there.

Two white giraffe were spotted in 2017.

A second calf was born last year.

The animals do not have albanism.

Their condition known as leucism leaves them almost devoid of pigmentation but with dark eyes.

Manager of the conservancy Mohammed Ahmdenoor says the killings have gravely damaged a bid to save a unique species found nowhere else in the world.
