By Sharon Freedman

May 24, 2010 - Niabi Zoo is proud to announce that "Zuri" has been selected as the name of the femaie giraffe born at the zoo on April 10, 2010. Zuri is a name of Swahili origin which mean "beautiful." The zoo sponsored a context to select the name. The winning name was submitted by multiple members. The winner of a year-long family membership to Niabi Zoo is Susan Bates of Bettendorf. Her name was randomly selected from those entries suggesting Zuri. Niabi Zoo would like to thank the community for their participation.
