You can help name the baby giraffe at the Denver Zoo – Here’s how

Mar 10, 2025, 4:30 PM | Updated: 7:00 pm

Last week announced that the Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance welcomed a new baby giraffe to the family, and the zoo needs your help naming the calf.

On its website, the Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance is asking for help choosing the name. Voters can pick between three name options, and it costs a donation of $5 per vote. The money will support the Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance.

Here are the three options:

Dagg: In honor of late giraffe researcher, Dr. Anne Innis Dagg.

Thorn: Who wouldn’t want to be named after a favorite woody food…of giraffes?

Kujali: Meaning “to care” in Swahili, the language of eastern African countries.

As of publishing this article, the name “Kujali” was in the lead, with $$5,821 raised. The name “Dagg” was second with $3,008 and “Thorn” was third with $1,205.

The baby is not on display to the public yet, but the Denver Zoo has a livestream showcasing the calf.
