Whenever you hear that a company or organisation has decided to allow the public to name something new without any restriction , you get the potent feeling that they ’re head for a full calamity . Who could forget Mountain Dew’s2012 campaignto name a new relish of their soft beverage , which culminate in a win for “ Hitler Did Nothing Wrong ? ”
Now we ’re disquieted about a whole new assignment campaign going the fashion ofBoaty McBoatFace . An Australian zoo has revealed that a young , rarified , white koala joey has been born on the premises and they also require the world to name it .
The capably name Australian Zoo , based in Beerwah just north of Brisbane , explained on theirFacebook pagethat the koala youngling is n’t an albino , but probably has arecessive genethat is do her unusual fur color . They also note that there ’s a chance that she will “ morph into a greyer color as she grows , but flop now she really stands out ! ”
She was plausibly born a few months ago , but she ’s only just emerge from her mother ’s sack . The menagerie staff describe her as “ increasingly adventurous and often climbs around with the other babies chewing on eucalypt . ”
She sound delightfully lovely , so with caution , we tap the Facebook place asking for suggestions , expecting to line up the bad echelon of the net bemuse as many offending or intellect - numb names at the zoological garden .
Remarkably , at the sentence of writing , all the suggestions seem reasonably sensible – that , and overly saccharine .
“ She is so cute ! ” one denizen of the Web declares . “ My suggestion : small miss sunniness , miss candy fluffy gray , miss cookie , sweet cake ! ”
Note : Koalas are not confectionary . What else do we have ? Other suggestion let in “ Bella ” , “ Zoey ” , “ Floss ” , “ Snowy ” , “ Luna ” , and “ Moonbeam ” . One user has indicate “ Casper ” , while another has choose for “ Lulu ” , which is plain “ Swahili for pearl ” .
disregardless of the prompting , everyone fit that the little white koala is unbearably cute . “ OMG WE HAVE TO GO BACK NOW . THAT BABY require ME TO HOLD HER ! ” tell one gently delirious individual .
So do you opine you ’ve got what it takes to name a rarified , white baby koala and still preserve the integrity of your moral compass ? If so , click hereand let Australia Zoo know .
