Woodland Park Zoo is asking for the public’s help in naming its new female gorilla, born on Nov. 20.
To enter, participants must choose a female name from the African languages of Hausa, Yoruba or Igbo, and submit an entry form via mail, online at www.zoo.org/babygorilla or by dropping it off at any ballot box located on zoo grounds between Tuesday, February 16, and Monday, February 29.
One winner will be selected by a judging panel of zoo staff to take home the Grand Prize:
- One 1-year annual Woodland Park Zoo membership for one family
- One ZooParent gorilla adoption
- One opportunity to join a gorilla staff member for a private meet and greet for up to five people at the public viewpoint of the gorilla exhibit once the baby is on view (arranged at a mutually agreeable time)
- One framed photograph of the newly-named gorilla infant
