A young giraffe with a zigzagging, seemingly broken neck has recently been spotted for the first time in South Africa. Almost nothing is known about this deformed animal, including how it got its extreme injury or how long it might survive.
Travel blogger Lynn Scott snapped photos of the giraffe on a wildlife tour in an unnamed, private game reserve in Kruger National Park, and shared the images July 5 on Facebook. (The exact location and date have been withheld by Scott to protect the animal from poachers.)
