After two weeks without a name, the public has chosen the moniker for the Dallas Zoo's new giraffe.
Online voters chose "Kopano," which means "united" in the Tswana language of Botswana. An anonymous bidder bought the naming rights to Kopano and left the final choice up to the public.
Kopano's birth was announced Oct. 29. The giraffe is already 6 feet tall and weighs 120 pounds. The newborn is a reticulated giraffe, which according to the Giraffe Conservation Foundation, is a species with fewer than 4,700 left in the wild.
