Jabali has garnered the most votes to be the name for the first gorilla born at the Taipei Zoo in its 106-year history, the zoo said yesterday.
The zoo on Saturday last week started an online poll for people to choose a name for the baby gorilla, born on Oct. 31.
People had until noon on Friday to choose from one of four names for the male gorilla, which were put forward by organizations involved in the zoo’s gorilla conservation program, it said.
