Cape May Zoo Introduces New Baby Zebra
Our friends at the Cape May Zoo - officially the Cape May County Park and Zoo - say the new zebra needs a new name.
Zookeepers have been listening to suggestions, and they've narrowed the pick to three possibilities: Gloria, Gemma, and Terra.
Now, they're asking you to vote for your favorite. You can vote right at the entrance of the zoo in Cape May Court House, or you can vote online here.
Online votes can be made with a $5 donation to the zoo.
Zoo officials say the winner will be announced in September. In the meantime, you can check out one of the newest zoo animals in your next visit to the zoo.
