New daddy Butch celebrated Father’s Day Sunday June 21, 2015 when he selected the baby orangutan’s name during an enrichment activity. Animal enrichment is provided to animals to provide mental and physical stimulation in their daily lives. Without a doubt, the animals enjoy cooling down with ice pop treats, and this activity provides a fun and unique experience for them and Zoo visitors.
To welcome the newest addition to the orangutan family, people may donate needed items from the baby registry list at https://babyli.st/ibu-and-butch or www.elpasozoo.org/babyshower.
The orangutan keepers chose four of their favorite names after the baby was born April 23. After a community vote, the Zoo has narrowed the baby names down to the top two. The top two baby names were:
- Moki: Ancient Southwest Pueblo, meaning step (as in a positive step for orangutan conservation)
- Khaleesi: meaning queen (from the fictional Dothraki language in the “Game of Thrones” series)
