Mandai is currently asking members of the public to vote on their Facebook and Instagram pages for one of three names: Imara, meaning “strong” in Swahili; Mayaka, meaning “pearl” in Lingala; and Kiah, meaning “dawn”, “new beginnings” or “start of the season” in Swahili.<\/p>\n
Those hoping to catch a glimpse of the calf can also visit Hidden Forest at Rainforest Wild Adventure East, where he shares a habitat with Kisala. Xandor lives separately nearby. But if the little one decides he’d rather stay out of sight, visitors can check a “baby monitor” showing a live feed from his off-exhibit den.<\/p>\n
Daily Okapi Ranger Talks are also held at 10.30am and 3pm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
