The Little Rock Zoo is calling on the public to help name a baby orangutan born in July. Participants can vote here, and the zoo said the poll will also be posted on its website and Facebook page.
The baby, born July 29 to mother Berani and father Bandar, is a young female. Zookeepers have selected four names from which the public can choose.
The names, all in Malay, are:
- Kasih (pronounced KAH-see), which means love
- Markisa (pronounced Mark-KEE-suh), which means passion fruit
- Sabah (pronounced SA-bah), which is the name of the state in northern Borneo where orangutans are found
- Madu (MAH-do), which means honey
Votes can be cast until Aug. 30, the zoo said, and a winning name will be announced then.
