Australia Zoo is excited to announce the name of our gorgeous giraffe...Rosie!
Selected by Terri, Bindi and Robert, Rosie is a perfect fit for this quiet, and much loved young girl.
Terri said the new name was fitting in several ways.
"We liked the name Rosie the best but, coincidently, it is also the name of Bindi's best friend," she said.
Terri, Bindi and Robert chose this name out of over 630 entries, received from as far away as England! But the winning name came from a five-year-old girl who lives just 20 minutes from the Zoo. Congratulations Mackenzie Henricks!
Mackenzie and her family will receive a free day at the Zoo and a special opportunity to meet Rosie and her friends Forrest and Penny. Wooo-hoo!
Rosie is nice for the giraffe. I hope she have a great time at the zoo and hope one day I can feed the giraffe and see all the wildlife there too. Good on you mate Mackenzie and your family. Good job mate and give Rosie same food from and big hug from me. Enjoy it. See You Later ALM
