The name means "united" in the Tswana language of the African nation of Botswana. It was chosen in an online poll on dallaszoo.com.
Kopano's birth was announced last week. The giraffe is already hit 6 feet tall and weighs 120 pounds.
The zoo had first auctioned off naming rights. An anonymous bidder who won with a $50,000 donation then allowed the zoo to put the giraffe's name up for a public vote.
He is a cutie. Kopano is now out where the public can see him. He is so adorable running around his mom.
