B&C: Name that sifaka

A post I wrote for the Temple News blog, Broad & Cecil: Name that sifaka (2.28.08)

The Philadelphia Zoo just had a baby– a baby sifaka.

Sifaka: any of several diurnal mostly black-and-white lemurs (genus Propithecus) with a long tail and silky fur [m-w.com]

The Zoo wants your help naming it. The nominees are:

“Loka” (loo-ka): a Malagasy name meaning “Prize”
“Kapiky” (ka-PEE-kee): a Malagasy name meaning “nut”
“Eko” (eh-KO): a character name from the television show “Lost”
“Cozbi” (cos-BEE): Suggested write-in
