Maryland Zoo's ‘surprise' baby giraffe gets a name
A baby giraffe whose birth in March came as a surprise at the Maryland Zoo this week received a name — Titali, which means butterfly in the Bulu language spoken in southern Cameroon. Zookeepers who care for the baby girl giraffe picked the name from a list generated by zoo donors who'd given $100 or more. The funds go toward care for the zoo's animals and wildlife conservation programs, according to officials.
