How about Pinocchio?

A baby giant anteater (hmm oxy moron?) was born at the National Zoo a few weeks ago. The zoo vets are evidently trying to give the new family some privacy, so they don't know if the baby is a boy or a girl. Therefore, they can't name it.

That's where we come in. The Zoo is holding a "Name the Anteater" contest and you can vote for your favorite male and female names -- choose from Aurora, Pilar and Isabel or Cyrano, Francisco and Ferdinand.

You can also watch the mama anteater and the Zoo's first-ever baby anteater online here. Be warned: The National Zoo website is strangely captivating. You might be stuck on it for awhile.
