It’s a naming bonanza!
We have welcomed the pitter patter of baby animals across the park, and now we need your help choosing the perfect names!
A not-so-tiny male giraffe calf can be seen in the waterhole habitat. He was born last November and has been growing up fast under the attentive care of mum, Scarlett.
The Spotted Hyena clan has also grown, with Kanzi and Fahari each giving birth to twins this year! The cubs are in a private den space while they grow in size and confidence.
Giraffe and Spotted Hyena populations are under threat, making these healthy little ones all the more special. Each birth is a positive step forward in the conservation of these species and Zoos SA is proud to play a major role in regional breeding programs. By visiting, you’re supporting this vital work!
Our keepers have carefully selected a handful of names in Shona, Swahili and Zulu, connecting our latest arrivals to their native habitat in Africa.
Pick your favourite names from the lists below and be in for the chance to win a Giraffe Safari experience for two, plus entry to Monarto Safari Park*!
Competition ends 28 April 2024
