Animal naming competitions were a common way to promote public interest in newly acquired or recently born animals at zoos. With the birth of a giraffe at the zoo in August of 1962, WHK Radio and the Cleveland Zoo sponsored a "Name the Giraffe" contest. With over 1150 entries submitted, first prize was awarded to April Zuravel for her suggestion of "Topsee"; the young winner was introduced to the new born giraffe and $50 worth of toys from F. A. O. Schwartz Toy Chest. | Source: Images courtesy of Cleveland Metroparks ZooDownload Original File
