An extremely rare polka dot baby zebra was spotted in Kenya.
Photographers managed to capture this photo in Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve.
This is the first known case of a zebra with a polka dot appearance like this area.
The polka dot appearance comes from a genetic disorder called pseudo-melanism where animals display an abnormality in their stripe pattern.
