The new giraffe calf with mother Isabella
Marwell Wildlife is asking residents to help name its new baby giraffe.
The female calf was born at Marwell, in Colden Common, on Friday, August 17 to the surprise of some visitors.
Keepers have chosen four names for the calf but want the public to have the final say.
The choices are Afia, which means born on a Friday; Olympia, after the Olympics; Arria, which means slender; and Subira which means rewarding patience.
Staff at Marwell are delighted with the newborns progress and she is already galloping around her enclosure.
To vote for the name visit marwell.org.uk/giraffe. Voting closes on Tuesday, August 28 at 9am.
