Voting being held to name baby giraffe - wave3.com-Louisville News, Weather & Sports

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - The Louisville Zoo needs your help naming the newest giraffe.

They have narrowed it down to three and want you to vote on the final name.

The options are:

Silvester, for longtime giraffe keeper Silvia Zirkelbach who shares a birthday with the giraffe calf.

Cassius, for Louisville's own Muhammad Ali.

Rudy, for Sean Astin's character in the movie Rudy. Astin recently visited the Zoo and met the new giraffe when it was just days old.

The baby Masai Giraffe was born on June 27 at the Zoo to mother Malaika and dad Walker. The calf was 6'6'' and 194 pounds when he was born.

Zoo visitors have through October 14 to vote at a kiosk placed on the Zoo's front plaza.
