1) Giraffe Conservation Efforts in the wild
We will continue to build towards our banked contribution to the Giraffe Conservation Foundation.

1. Thanks for sharing this important news!

Last I heard, they didn't know the gender yet. What a cutie! And now that we know, he does need a name...

[Donkees]

2. I would have chosen the name Blossom for a girl :)

10. Awww!

Well, you know that DU has been following these events, so there's bound to be a Blossom in the future...

3. I'm going to submit the name "Bunny" because, Easter.

It's appropriate for a girl or a boy, but who cares anyway.

4. Eggbert :)

5. Ooooh, I like that one, too.

Better than Giraffey McGiraffe Face.

6. Plus, I'm just glad he's out.

Feel like I was carrying him, too. Now I'll be lighter on my feet.

[Donkees]

8. Me too! He looks like he's so tired now, his head too heavy for his neck

[Laffy Kat]

9. Mom's probably a little tired, too.

Wonder how long they nurse?

7. I wanted a midwife, it took so long, poor April

I like Eggbert

11. I hope they shut the barn lights tonight and allow them a peaceful sleep.

15. How about "Spot"?

16. Budd

17. Gavrilo - 'G' for giraffe, 'avril' for mom April, o for dad 'Oliver'

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

18. Historians might not care too much for that one...

Gavrilo Princip was the guy who assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand and precipitated WWI.

[Donkees]

19. There are other Gavrilos in the world, but maybe only one Gavrilo Giraffe :)

20. I submitted "PARIS." "April 'n' Paris," get it?! :-)
