Giant Anteater Mother Chooses "Pablo" as Her Pup’s Name
April 7, 2011
See all pup photos.
Maripi chose from the names Demetrio, Fausto, and Pablo—the top three vote-getters from the Zoo’s website voting poll. These three names were paired with a different food item (grapefruit, mango, and hard-boiled egg respectively) and placed under an ant-stenciled flower pot in the anteater’s outdoor exhibit. Maripi was then released into the yard and, after much investigation, she hovered over the flower pot/name Pablo, attempting to get at the hard-boiled egg underneath—thus choosing Pablo as her four-month-old pup’s new moniker! Thanks to everyone who voted and came to the event today.
