Eastern bongo naming competition
There is an eastern bongo calf in the African Plains at Dublin Zoo that needs a name!
This beautiful calf was born on the 20th of February to mother Annabel and she is thriving!
This calf is a symbol of hope for the conservation of this species. Fewer than 100 eastern bongos remain in the wild. Found only in the mountain forests of Kenya, these beautiful antelopes (with distinctive stripes) face growing threats from habitat destruction, illegal hunting and human-wildlife coexistence.
To celebrate this birth, we are running a competition to name this amazing little calf. As eastern bongos are only found in mountainous forests of Central Kenya, please suggest names of African origin, so do your research!
To submit your entry, please complete the short form below! If your suggested name is chosen, you will WIN a Wild Lights Family Pass for 2025/2026 at Dublin Zoo and have the honour of picking the winning name of a very special species!
Competition closes at 3pm on Wednesday, April 30th 2025.
