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.
