The Fort Worth Zoo recently welcomed a new baby giraffe born on May 31.

They have yet to name the animal and want our input in deciding what their name will be.


Residents can vote on a choice of three different names to call the giraffe:

-Kumi — The name is Swahili for 10, in honor of mom Kala giving birth to her 10th calf.

-Honey — This is in recognition of the fact the baby is as sweet as can be.

-Iris — This moniker is a tribute to the state Fort Worth calls home, as the iris is a native Texan plant/flower.

Voting HERE ends on June 27.


According to the Dallas Morning News, the giraffe was born standing 6 feet and 2 inches tall and weighing 152 pounds to mother Kala, and father Apollo.
