Siamang gibbon naming competition

Win a family day pass to Dublin Zoo!

There is a siamang gibbon baby in Asian Forests at Dublin Zoo that needs a name!

The baby was born overnight on the 2nd of December to parents Cahaya and Luca. This birth marks an important milestone in Dublin Zoo’s conservation efforts as Cahaya and Luca are genetically important to the European Endangered Species programme.

To celebrate the birth, we are running a competition to name the baby siamang gibbon. As siamang gibbons are found in mountain and lowland forests on the island of Sumatra, in Malaysia and in small parts of Thailand, please suggest names of Asian origin, so do your research!

Siamang gibbons are classified as ‘Endangered’ on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species. There are approximately 22,000 siamangs left in the wild and the threats they face include habitat loss, mainly due to deforestation for the palm oil industry, and the illegal pet trade.

To submit your entry, please complete the short form below. If your suggested name is chosen, you will win a family day pass to Dublin Zoo and have the honour of picking the winning name of a very special species!

The closing date for the competition is 12pm on Wednesday, April 3rd 2024 and the winner will be announced on Dublin Zoo’s social media channels.

Best of luck!
