@franklinparkzoo: The giraffe calf has a name! Say hello to Packenham, who will be affectionately called “Packy.” This name was selected by Olivia Mairead Packenham in honor of her late father, Richard "Packy" Packenham Esq. Thank you to everyone who participated in the recent naming auction. All proceeds support the care of Packy after his stay at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University and the continued care by his animal care team at Franklin Park Zoo. With the weather cooling off, our giraffes are spending more time behind the scenes in their heated barn. But stay tuned, we’ll continue to share updates and milestones with our growing boy. #Giraffe #BabyAnimals #FranklinParkZoo #NewName
