The São Paulo Zoo has welcomed a new member to its chimpanzee family, a male baby born to parents Tina and Pepe, who hail from Portugal. As the baby is currently bonding closely with his mother, Tina, he has not yet been given a name. To engage the public, the zoo has initiated a voting process through its official Instagram page where individuals can suggest names for the young chimpanzee.

The voting process encourages creativity as participants can repeatedly submit and promote their favorite name choices. This method not only highlights the zoo's commitment to involving the community but also reflects a blend of Brazilian culture and heritage in the naming process. By creating an interactive experience, the zoo fosters a sense of connection between the public and its animals, emphasizing the importance of conservation and animal welfare.

By Friday, individuals will have the opportunity to suggest names in the comments section, with the most popular suggestions being tallied by the zoo staff. In cases of a tie, the final decision will be made via Instagram stories. A few of the leading suggestions include the names 'Pepino' and 'Pepito,' showcasing the playful nature of the naming event while promoting the zoo’s vibrant online presence.
