The female bonobo born April 12 at the Fort Worth Zoo finally has a name.
After more than 1,300 votes, the public named her Layla, which means "dark beauty" in Swahili.
Sort of a fitting name for 20-year-old Lucy's third offspring with partner 34-year-old Kevin.
Other names offered up for voting included Abeni, Azize, Gigi and Kioni.
Kelly Giadrosich of Fort Worth was chosen as the grand prize winner, and receives a Fort Worth Zoo t-shirt, bonobo plush toy, framed 4x6 photo of Layla, and a family four-pack of tickets to the zoo.
Layla lives with the current troop of six bonobos living at the Fort Worth Zoo's "World of Primates" exhibit.
The bonobo is a highly endangered species closely related to the chimpanzee. Bonobos are native to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
