The community are being given the opportunity to help name Perth Zoo's newest giraffe calf.
In celebration of the birth of a healthy male, the community can submit name suggestions which must be of an African dialect, on the Zoo's website.
He was born to mum Kitoto and dad Armani, as part of a regional breeding program to prevent the extinction of the species.
Sadly, giraffes have suffered a 40 per cent population decline in the last 30 years.
Environment Minister Stephen Dawson says zoo breeding efforts are more important than ever before.
"With fewer than 80,000 giraffes roaming the African plains, every calf born is important," Minister Dawson said.
"At 19 days-old, the youngster has already raised awareness about his species.
"He's probably our biggest WA celebrity at present. More than 3 million people have watched his adventures on the Zoo's Facebook page, learning more about giraffes."
The competition winner will enjoy an exclusive giraffe experience and meet the zoologists who dedicate their lives to caring for the Perth giraffe herd.
