Zoo officials are considering naming the recently born giraffe cub.

The Leipzig Zoo is gearing up for an action-packed September, with two exciting events scheduled.

Firstly, the K!DZ giant children's festival is set to take place before the Discover Days Newcomers event. This festival, hosted by the zoo, will feature a variety of interactive stations, musical-artistic performances, and even a special appearance by "Frank with his Zappeltier." The Thomaner youth choir will also be performing, promising a delightful musical experience for all.

However, the K!DZ giant children's festival is not related to the ongoing name search for a Rothschild giraffe calf born on July 25, 2025. The zoo is currently seeking name suggestions for this five-week-old calf, with the first round of the name search running until September 8th. Suitable name suggestions can be submitted via the zoo's website.

The name for the giraffe calf will be announced on World Children's Day, but the exact date and any specific name proposals have not been publicly announced yet. The calf is currently being integrated into the herd and visitor area, but no details about the naming have been provided yet.

During the K!DZ giant children's festival, donations for children will be collected. The festival does not affect the deadline for name suggestions, so there's still time for you to contribute your ideas.

The Discover Days Newcomers event, scheduled for September 20th/21st, will also have its own attractions. Among them, the announcement of the name for the Rothschild giraffe calf will undoubtedly be a highlight.

So, mark your calendars for a fun-filled September at the Leipzig Zoo! Whether you're submitting a name suggestion, enjoying the K!DZ giant children's festival, or waiting for the Discover Days Newcomers event, there's something for everyone.
