I Need a Name!

The Oakland Zoo is proud of its two baby baboons. Baby girl “Kabili” was born on March 14. Nineteen days later, on April 1, a baby boy was welcomed. He’s still awaiting his moniker.

The zoo has chosen three possible names and is giving all of us the opportunity to pick the one he’ll carry for the rest of his life.

The choices are all Swahili:

• Muriu, meaning Son
• Maliki, meaning King
• Mazi, meaning Sir

It costs $2 to vote, with all funds raised from the contest going for enrichment items at the zoo,

If you’d like to see the babies in their habitat, they’re outside daily from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
