Name that Giraffe (and That One, Too)
04/13/2009
The Zoo needs names for the two young giraffes that arrived last month. The youngsters, one male and one female arrived last month. Both animals are just under a year old.
The judges will look for names that reflect the Zoo's commitment to animal welfare and conservation.
Contest entries may be submitted manually by
completing a form at ballot boxes at the park’s two entrances or
electronically by using the online form at the zoo’s Web site, www.nczoo.org . Entries may also be mailed to: Name the Giraffes Contest, N.C. Zoo, 4401 Zoo Parkway, Asheboro, NC 27205.
The submission deadline is Sunday, May 10. The
names will be chosen by zoo keepers and staff, and the winner will be
announced on May 13 on the zoo’s Web site, ClearChannel Radio
Greensboro stations and WGHP FOX-8.
The winner will have the first opportunity to feed
the Giraffes at the Acacia Station giraffe feeding-deck dedication
ceremony in May and will receive a one-year N.C. Zoo Society family
membership and a gift basket. Additionally, a plaque with the
winner’s name and the winning giraffe names will be placed at the
exhibit.
In the photograph below, the new male is on the right, in front, and the female is on the left.
