The Calgary Zoo needs your help! Their new male giraffe calf, born February
16, 2011 needs a name! At over six feet tall and 185 pounds, this longnecked
wonder needs a name that reflects his personality – intelligent,
curious and independent. He is the largest giraffe calf born to date at the
Calgary Zoo.
How to enter:
The contest starts April 5 and runs until April 15. You can enter on the
Calgary Zoo website at www.calgaryzoo.com/giraffe or by accessing the contest page using the QR code on posters located on zoo grounds. A bonus
coupon, redeemable for a discount on zoo admission in April, will be returned
by email for every original name entered.
Grand Prize – a behind-the-scenes tour with the giraffe family including their
adorable youngster, his mom Carrie, and Auntie Mardi. The calf’s name will
be chosen on April 20 by giraffe keepers who know him best and his new
name will be posted on the Calgary Zoo Facebook page and website.
Psst… special tip: The name should reflect his African origin and also be
easy for keepers to use in his training!
