Spotless giraffe, believed to be rarest in the world, born at Tennessee zoo

LIMESTONE, Tenn. (CBS 58) -- A Tennessee zoo has welcomed one of the world's rarest giraffes -- a solid brown girl. 

The giraffe, born at Brights Zoo in Limestone, Tennessee, is believed to be the only spotless giraffe in the world right now. 

She was born July 31, and is already six feet tall and thriving under her mom's care. 

The zoo is looking for help in naming the new addition. 

You can choose from the following four names: 

1. Kipekee - Unique
2. Firali - Unusual or Extradonary
3. Shakiri - She is most beautiful
4. Jamella - One of great beauty

Voting to name the giraffe will run until Labor Day, Sept. 4. 

The zoo will then tally the votes and announce the giraffe's name.
