A 6-foot, 125-pound male giraffe was born Monday, January 18, at Blank Park Zoo, Des Moines. His parents are Skye, a 6-year-old giraffe who has lived at the zoo since 2015 and dad is Jakobi, a 15-year--old giraffe.

Now the sweet baby needs a name and we can help.

• Mosi - meaning 'first born'
• Raza - meaning 'hope'
• Ikemba (Kemba) - meaning 'strength of a nation,' 'power of the people,' 'full of faith'

Hurry though....voting opened Friday and will continue through tomorrow Feb. 2. The winning name will be announced Feb. 3.
