(CNN) They were among the rarest giraffes to walk the planet, and now they are gone. The remains of two stunning white giraffes that lived at a Kenyan wildlife sanctuary were found in a skeletal state, rangers at the Ishaqbini Hirola Conservancy said on Tuesday. The Kenya Wildlife Service was called to the reserve after it was reported the giraffes hadn't been seen in quite a while. Upon finding the bones, wildlife officials estimated they had been there for at least four months. We are the only community in the world who are custodians of the white giraffes," said Mohammed Ahmednoor, manager of the reserve in Garissa County, Kenya, in a news release .
