The Peoria Zoo welcomed a 122-pound baby girl giraffe Jan. 7 and is now asking the public to help name the 5-foot-10-inch calf.

People can submit suggestions on the Peoria Zoo website for a $1 donation, which will go to support the Giraffe Conservation Fund and for the care of the Peoria giraffes. Voting opens Jan. 26, according to the Peoria Journal-Star.

The baby joins mother Vivian, father Taji and brother Finely at the zoo.
