Our chimpanzee troop has grown by ONE with the birth of a beautiful little girl in December. 

It's now time to give her a suitable name and that is where you come in. Complete your details and enter your suggestion below.

HERE'S A TIP:
We encourage (and prefer) a name that relates to the chimpanzees homeland - so Western and Central Africa. But, if you think you've got something a bit special, we are open to creativity too.

THE PRIZE: 
If your name is selected as the overall winner, as well as the honour of knowing YOU named her, you will win...

A BEHIND THE SCENES CHIMPANZEE EXPERIENCE for up to six people guided by one of our dedicated primate team. 

The winning name will be selected by our primate team.
