Baby Tapir Naming Competition

By Jill Harness in Animals & Pets, Everything Else on Jul 16, 2009 at 8:58 pm

Ever wonder where the zoo critters get their names? Well, most of them are named by the keepers, but if you’ve ever wanted to name one yourself, particularly the baby tapir shown above, here’s your chance. The Belfast Zoo is holding a naming competition for the little babe born on June 22, 2009.

All you have to do is send us your chosen name and up to 100 words explaining why you think it would suit our new tapir to namingcomp@belfastzoo.co.uk

Somehow I have a feeling it’ll be named “moot” …

It should be named after the biggest fan of cuddly baby tapirs, “Planet Express Ship”.
