Christchurch’s Orana Wildlife Park has confirmed the name of the baby giraffe staff had fondly nicknamed Grinch.

The 1-month-old calf has been named Kevin after a “landslide result” in an online public vote on the park’s Facebook page.

Kevin took out the top spot over other suggested names including Imani, Rangi, Rwenzori, Selassie and Obi.

In a post, the park said Kevin was “a little shy”. He was already more than 1.8m tall and still growing.
