Name The Male Reindeer At San Francisco Zoo
This young fellow needs a name. His companions are Peppermint and Holly. Any ideas? See the reindeer at Zoo Lights!
SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Guests of the San Francisco Zoo & Gardens have the chance now through New Year's Day to see reindeer during this holiday season, zoo officials said today.
This season's visiting trio of reindeer includes a six-month old male calf. Zoo officials are holding a naming contest for the calf.
"We were not expecting the young male, just the majestic adults that we host during the holidays. We are so excited that our guests can see what a juvenile looks like, as seeing reindeer is such a unique and magical experience for all," Tanya Peterson, CEO and executive director of the San
Francisco Zoological Society, said in a statement.
