The male calf born Oct. 26 will either be named Kopano (United), Usawa (Equality) or Shingo (Neck) -- which moniker is chose is up to the public.

Officials said first-time mother Chrystal gave birth to the giraffe, who measured 6-feet tall and weighed about 120 pounds at birth.
The Dallas Zoo said the baby is a reticulated giraffe, a species with fewer than 4,700 left in the wild. He also won't be too far away from dad, Tebogo, who lives at the zoo.
The money earned from the giraffe's naming rights will benefit conservation efforts.
