Leucistic Giraffe

I saw a very white Rothschild's giraffe with very dark markings at Prague Zoo in 2009. It was the most unusual giraffe I've ever seen.
 
I was wondering about leucistic giraffes. How many have been recorded? I know of Omo, a female at Tarangire National Park, Tanzania in 2015. The mother and calf at Ishaqbini Hirola Conservancy, Kenya in 2017. Captive individuals at Milwaukee Zoo and possibly Denver Zoo. It's hard to find information about them. If anyone knows any others, or knows the current status of any of these animals, I'd love to hear about them. Thanks.

Rahna at Milwaukee is much lighter than normal. The zoo says she is like a person with blond hair.
