WELCOME TO THE WORLD LITTLE ONE!

This young baby giraffe's mother is Penelope who was born in May 2013 and came to the Cameron park zoo all the way from the San Diego Zoo. The baby giraffe's father Dane, was born in 2013 and came from the Santa Barbara Zoo as you can probably tell in this article I haven’t really mentioned the young baby calf's name, that’s because according to KXVV, Cameron Park, zoological and botanical Society is holding a naming contest for the new calf starting Tuesday going through July 9.

To become a participant you would need to pay five dollars per vote to help choose the name. The options are Kalani, Kira, Zuri, and Adelaide. In my opinion, we’re looking at Zuri, she is so adorable and so cute and it looks like it just fits her name.
