Emily Grabauskas- Bella the Boy?

Bella the Boy?

According to public opinion, the zoo is definitely a famous attraction for people of all ages. Dates, family walks, team running, or just a day of fun can all happen at the zoo. The public often feels a connection to a lot of their favorite animals and friends, but while some visit the zoo routinely, others just like to stop in on a long weekend holiday with extended family. Either way, the community zoo is a great place to become connected with animals. Because of this, the zoo’s owners and workers in Miami have been trying to reach out for public support and help on one specific topic. A new baby flamingo was hatched on May 24th and it needed a name!
A zoological park in Miami, Florida was recently blessed with a newly hatched baby flamingo. Because the public interest in Jungle Island is so strong, the visitors were asked to come up with a name for the new baby. The naming was a contest among Jungle Island goers. The only problem was that the staff at the park did not know the sex of the baby bird. Because the staff had not confirmed the sex, the public was urged to pick some names that could be given to either a boy or a girl. People had the opportunity to make suggestions online for the naming of the newly hatched baby flamingo. The sex of the flamingo has still not been chosen, but a name has.

Unfortunately for a male flamingo, the chosen name is Bella. If the baby is male, he may be a little disappointed, but for a female, the cute name is surely a great fit. For cute photos, look at jungleisland.com. There are photos of the hatching and of the flamingo family together. He or she is sure to be the star of the show at Jungle Island!
