The other day, we brought you news of Zoo Miami‘s Pygmy Hippo baby. Zookeepers are now asking the public to help choose between four names. “Nzuri”, which means beautiful, “Nyumbani”, meaning home, “Leona”, a reference to Sierra Leone, and “Asali”, meaning honey; a tribute to one of the Zoo’s Hippo’s which passed away last year. You can visit the zoo’s survey now and cast your vote!
