Giraffe Girumble - Loser's Bracket 5B
Propaganda below (Spoilers every other week)
I'm a Giraffe guy Propaganda:
They did say they were a giraffe, soooooooo
From the vine in which a skiier in a giraffe suit skis past the camera and shouts "I'm a giraffe!" Clearly a giraffe
Imagine if you will, a ski trip to Colorado with friends. You stop to take a photo to remember the occasion. Your friend tells you say to Colorado and before you can speak, a man in a giraffe onesie on skis zips by yelling three words. “I’m a giraffe!” And disappears without a trace. I’m Rod Serling, and welcome to the Twilight Zone.
Satoshi Nagashima propaganda:
A student who runs a radio show/podcast in which he shares the broadcasts of a listening device. In the show proper, he's a background character and a critic of a comedy duo known as the 'Homosapiens'.
Kipekee propaganda:
It's a spotless giraffe which is very cool and p rare. I still think it should've been named vibrant beige tho. :)

I don’t remember if I ever posted it so BEHOLD Kipekee!!
I would also really like to know what’s up with her blood vessels because jiraffs generally have more underneath their spots so… blood vessel jiraff
And also a (probably inaccurate) muscle jiraff because why not
I desperately want them to do one of them thermal imaging scans or whatever they’re called on kipekee to see if her blood vessel with show what her pattern is or if this IS her pattern!!!!

Another Rare Spotless Giraffe Found—the First Ever Seen in the Wild
The sighting occurred just weeks after the unusual condition was seen in a newborn giraffe at a Tennessee zoo. Is it more common than scientists thought?
— By Dina Fine Maron | September 12, 2023
Just weeks after a giraffe at a U.S. Zoo was born missing its characteristic spots, another spotless giraffe calf has now been seen and photographed in the wild for the first time.
The unprecedented sighting occurred at Mount Etjo Safari Lodge, a private game reserve in central Namibia. Tour guide Eckart Demasius saw and photographed the solid-brown calf during a game drive on the roughly 90,000-acre reserve, according to the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. Demasius, who was not immediately available for comment, shared his photos with the giraffe nonprofit.
Sara Ferguson, a wildlife veterinarian and conservation health coordinator at the foundation, says the two recent spotless sightings are pure coincidence and that there’s no data to suggest this coloring is occurring more frequently than it had in the past.
This finding is just another example of “the weird way the world works” she says, adding that she’s “so amazed and pleased there is so much more to learn and discover about giraffe.”
Genetic Anomalies
The spotless reticulated giraffe born at Brights Zoo in Limestone, Tennessee, earlier this summer was recently named Kipekee, which means “Unique” in Swahili. The recent wild sighting occurred in another giraffe subspecies found in southern Africa, the Angolan giraffe.
Before these recent births, a giraffe with all-brown coloring was last seen at a Tokyo Zoo in 1972.

Scientists, including Ferguson, believe the solid coloring is likely due to one or more genetic mutations that haven’t yet been identified.
Some aspects of giraffe spots are passed down from mother to calf, according to a 2018 study in the Journal Peer J, and larger, rounder spots appear to be linked to higher survival rates for younger giraffes, but the reasons for that remain unclear.
Derek Lee, a Biology Professor at Penn State University and a co-author on the PeerJ Study, says that technically these two recent examples are not spotless animals, but instead —"one-spot-all-over giraffes."
It’s impossible to say what this genetic anomaly means for the animal’s health, he says, but there’s no evidence the color difference puts the animal at a disadvantage.
“We have a sample size here of one, so time will tell what happens.”

“Giraffe experts believe she is the only solid-colored reticulated giraffe living anywhere on the planet,” Brights Zoo stated in a release.
Zoo leaders say there are records of another giraffe without spots being born in Japan in the 1970s.
“From day one we’ve been in contact with zoo professionals all over the country,” said Brights Zoo director, David Bright. “And especially the old timers, that have been around for a long time, ‘Hey, have you seen this? What’s your thoughts?’ And nobody’s seen it.”
Bright’s Zoo is asking for the public’s help in narrowing down the four chosen names for the unnamed baby giraffe.
Kipekee – Unique
Firyali – Unusual or Extradonary
Shakiri – She is most beautiful
Jamella – One of great beauty
David Bright said the names will be up on the zoo’s Facebook page Tuesday. Voting will last for two weeks.

The spotless giraffe, born at a Tennessee zoo, is the first one seen in more than 50 years.
By Dina Fine Maron
24 August 2023
Just a few weeks old and still without a name, a newborn giraffe at a zoo in northeastern Tennessee could rightly be nicknamed “spotless.”
The female giraffe born without its characteristic spots instead boasts a solid brown coat, a phenomenon that hasn’t been observed in any giraffe for more than 50 years.
She was born last month at Brights Zoo, a family-owned facility in Limestone, Tennessee.
A spotless giraffe was last reported at a Tokyo zoo in 1972.
“The spotless giraffe calf is certainly an interesting case and that type of coloring has never been seen in the wild," says Sara Ferguson, a wildlife veterinarian and conservation health coordinator at the Giraffe Conservation Foundation.
The animal’s rare coloring is likely due to some sort of mutation in one or more genes, she says.
But there’s no indication of underlying medical issues or that the newborn reticulated giraffe — a subspecies native to eastern Africa — is at a genetic disadvantage.
David Bright, zoo director at the Brights Zoo, says that the baby’s nine-year-old mother, Shenna, had previously birthed three other calves and the trio were all spotted.
This latest addition to the zoo’s giraffe family was born at a weight of around 190 pounds, he says, and her veterinary care team concluded “she’s healthy and normal” — though her coloring was a surprise.
A case of spotlessness
Genetics often influence animal coloring in diverse ways.
Giraffes with all white coloring have previously been spotted in the wild, including two at a reserve in Kenya in 2017.
Those animals had a genetic condition called leucism, which blocks skin cells from producing pigments.
"There’s no known explanation for the spotless giraffe in Tennessee beyond that it’s almost certainly due to some kind of genetic mutation or mutations," says Fred Bercovitch, a wildlife conservation biologist at the Anne Innis Dagg Foundation, a nonprofit that focuses on giraffe conservation.
The last known case of a spotless giraffe was an animal named Toshiko born in 1972 at Ueno Zoo in Tokyo, Japan, CBS News reported.
That giraffe’s mother had birthed another spotless calf several years earlier, according to Bright.
The Brights Zoo, which is home to just over 700 animals of 126 different species, including nine giraffes, asked the public to vote on four potential names for the giraffe calf on its Facebook page.
It accrued over 17,000 votes in the first day, Bright says.
There are four candidate names, all in Swahili: Kipekee (unique), Firyali (extraordinary or unusual), Shakiri (she is most beautiful), and Jamelia (one of great beauty).
What’s in a spot?
A 2018 study published in the journal PeerJ found that certain aspects of giraffe spots are passed down from mother to calf, such as how round the spots are and their smoothness (which is technically referred to as “tortuousness”).
The study authors also noted that bigger, rounder spots seemed linked to higher survival rates for young giraffes.
Still unanswered, however, was if that was possibly due to better camouflage or other unknown factors like enhanced ability to regulate temperature.
Bercovitch, who wasn’t involved in that study, says he wouldn’t be concerned about the spotless giraffe’s health even if the giraffe was born in the wild and away from a zoo’s medical care.
“Among mammals, the fur and the hair are the primary features that assist in thermoregulation, not the color of the fur,” he says.
“Giraffes can regularly raise their body temperature by a few degrees … they don’t sweat,” he says.
“That’s one of the reasons you find giraffes under trees—they want to keep their body temperatures within certain limits.”
Even the lack of camouflage wouldn’t necessarily mean the giraffe would be at a disadvantage in the wild, he says, since the mortality rate for young giraffes from lion predation is already so high.
Ferguson, the wildlife veterinarian says she looks forward to hearing more about the giraffe in the years to come.
“What would be cool,” she says, “would be to take an infrared light photo or a thermograph of her to see if the spot pattern is still there but invisible to our eye.”

Spotless Giraffe's Mother Has Some Explaining To Do
The rare baby giraffe that was born at the Brights Zoo in Tennessee without any spots and has taken the world by storm now has a name: Kipekee. The moniker, which means "unique" in Swahili, was revealed Tuesday morning on the Today show. According to the zoo, giraffe experts believe Kipekee is the only solid-color reticulated giraffe living anywhere in the world, which begs the question how could this happen? Kipekee's mother surely has some explaining to do since Kipekee's father has spots, and she was seen hanging around and possibly flirting with several unspotted animals at the zoo, including a llama named Stig, a bear named Jumbo, and two lions. "We're not saying that Kipekee's mother is a tramp who doesn't know who her baby's real father is, but we're not not saying that either," zoo director, David Bright.

Somo: ACHA VISINGIZIO, SIMAMA UBADILISHE MAISHA YAKO.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Fuatilia YouTube.
Https://youtube.com/@Rwizakakiza?si=DDoZgDdxlif_X-nD
Sehemu VIII.
NAMNA YA KUSHINDA AU KUACHA VISINGIZIO.
1. TAMBUA THAMANI YAKO NA UWEZO ULIOMO NDANI YAKO.
.......Neno "THAMANI" lamaanisha "Ubora" au "Upekee" na "Kufaa zaidi". Na Neno "UWEZO" lamaanisha "Nguvu" na "mamlaka"
Kwa maana hiyo tunapozungumzia "Kutambua thamani yako na uwezo uliomo ndani yako" tunamaanisha "Kutambua Ubora na upekee wako unavyofaa, na nguvu ya mamlaka uliyonayo inavyoweza kugeuza hali ngumu kuwa rahisi au kuumba kitu kipya ambacho hakijatokea duniani, lakini unacho kwenye ufahamu wako".
Tatizo hutambui thamani yako ilivyo na uwezo uliomo ndani yako, na kutotambua thamani yako hakumaanishi thamani yako haipo, thamani yako ipo pale pale lakini kwa sababu hauitambui nayo haitakutambulisha. Angalia maandiko yasemavyo:-
......Mwanadamu hajui thamani yake, Wala haionekani katika nchi ya walio hai.
.......Ayubu 28:13......
Imeandikwa..... Mwanadamu hajui thamani yake.... Hayajasema.... Mwanadamu hana thamani.... Kumbe mwanadamu anayo thamani lakini hajitambuhi kama ana thamani na kama anatambua ni kiasi kidogo kuliko MUNGU anavyotambua thamani ya mtu aliyonayo. Thamani yako ndiyo inayotambulisha uwezo wako wa kubadilisha maisha yako.
Maandiko yanaendelea kusema...."Wala haionekani katika nchi ya walio hai".... Kama hautaitambua thamani na uwezo wako, HAKUNA mtu yeyote atakayeona na kutambua thamani na uwezo ulionao.
Kwa hiyo namna bora ya kushinda visingizio na kusimama imara ili kubadilisha maisha yako ni KUTAMBUA THAMANI yako (Yaani Ubora wako, Upekee wako, na kufaa kwako), Na KUTAMBUA UWEZO wako (yaani Mamlaka yako na nguvu iliyomo ndani yako).
MUNGU alikupa thamani ya kipekee na uwezo wa kipekee kuliko uumbaji mwingine, Sasa amua kudhiirisha thamani yako na uwezo wako ili maisha yako yabadilike, Amina.
2. Mwamini na mtegemee YESU kwa gharama yoyote.
.......Tutaendelea.......
Rejea
"Man does not know the value of it; Nor is it found in the land of the living.
.....Job 28:13.....

Giraffe Girumble - Loser's Bracket 4D
Propaganda below (It sure is)
Kipekee propaganda:
It's a spotless giraffe which is very cool and p rare. I still think it should've been named vibrant beige tho. :)
Girafarig/Farigiraf propaganda:
(Girafarig) Surprisingly short for a giraffe, but the pushmi-pullyu design gimmick is charming enough to make up for that. Always thought this one was an underrated classic of Gold and Silver's roster, and I'm glad Scarlet and Violet gave it some deserved love and attention.
(Farigiraf) Both members of this family are good but farigiraf is as tall as arceus. It can square up to GOD
(Both) They're based on palindromes, and when Girafarig evolves it's tail become a cute hoodie. Also they used to have a pre-evolution that was a pair of ghost-like twins(dark/normal typed) attached to each other.

So I assume we’re all aware of Kipekee the spotless jiraff born in Tennessee
If you haven’t then this is her ^ she was born in July and personally I love her - she’s gorgeous and RARE! There hasn’t been many like her born, there have been all light brown (spotless) jiraffs born but all dark brown (all spot) is almost unheard of - the last time one was seen was Tokyo 1972. So she thought to be the only living all-spot jiraff. UNTIL!!!!
One was spotted in Namibia!! - The first to be spotted or unspotted lol (get it, because it has no spots) in the wild!!
They’re not even the same sub-species!! Kipekee is a reticulated jiraff and the latest one is angolan!!
Now I don’t have anything particularly clever to say about this, I just think it’s a really cool coincidence and I love them both very much and wanted to get the word out!!
And now I’m think about their blood vessels
#giraffe#JIRAFF#god I just love jiraffs#I’ve already drawn kipekee so I might have to draw this new one#love them <3

Matibabu ya kupandikiza ngozi nchini India
Kupandikizwa kwa ngozi ni upasuaji unaohusisha kutupa ngozi kutoka eneo moja la mwili na kuihamisha au kuipandikiza, hadi sehemu ya kipekee ya mwili. Utaratibu huu wa upasuaji unaweza kukamilika ikiwa sehemu ya mwili wako imepoteza uwekaji wake wa ulinzi wa ngozi kutokana na kuungua, uharibifu, au maambukizi. Kupandikiza ngozi hufanywa hospitalini. Vipandikizi vingi vya ngozi vinatekelezwa kwa kutumia anesthesia inayopendekezwa, ambayo inamaanisha kuwa utakuwa umelala wakati wa mchakato na hautapata maumivu yoyote.
