Name our new otters, win an ice cream party for 100!

Caileigh Robertson, Communications

We’re teaming up with Umpqua Bank to name our new playful pair of Asian small-clawed otters, residents of the new Bamboo Forest Reserve exhibit. Two lucky winners will each take home a $100 Umpqua Bank savings account*, a ZooParent adoption, and a visit from an Umpqua Bank ice cream truck for 100 friends!

The contest began Friday, May 24 and will continue through Saturday, June 15, 5:00 p.m. PST.

As a tribute to the otters' native southern and southeastern Asia range, all qualified name entries must be submitted in the Malay language. The winning names will be chosen by a panel of zoo judges.

Follow these three simple steps to name our otters:

1.     Look up words or names in the Malay language. Choose two names, one for him and one for her.
2.     Pick up a ballot at any Seattle area Umpqua Bank store, clip out a ballot from select issues of The Seattle Times, or submit your otter names online at zoo.org/nametheotters.
3.     Wait until the final two names are chosen to find out if you won one of two grand prizes!

The Asian small-clawed otters debuted May 4 during the grand opening celebration of the new Bamboo Forest Reserve exhibit, but their welcome to Woodland Park Zoo won’t be complete without your help! Log on to zoo.org/nametheotters to submit names for your chance to win big.

*Grand prize winners will receive a $100 savings contribution within 30 days of Umpqua Bank account opening. Account requires a $100 minimum opening deposit and may not be redeemed for cash. All other applicable terms and fees of the savings account apply; see account disclosures for detail. For official rules and regulations, visit zoo.org/nametheotters.
