Help name our baby giraffe!
ZSL Whipsnade Zoo has welcomed a leggy newcomer - a baby male giraffe - and we need your help to name him!
The as yet-unnamed youngster was born at 7am on 30 September to proud first-time mum Ijuma and dad Uno.
He took his first wobbly steps just a few hours after being born, a nerve-wracking experience for onlooking zookeepers. He is now very confident on his long legs and can often be seen galloping around the giraffe barn.
Zookeepers at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo have been struggling to decide on a name for the new arrival - so we want your help! Vote for your favourite name on our shortlist by 16 November and we'll announce the most popular name on the ZSL Whipsnade Zoo Facebook page.
Shortlisted names
- Ozzy
- Hercules
- Greg (Rutherford)
- Hasani
- Azizi
- Razi
- Jengo
- Baraka
