Sichuan Takin Naming Contest - Potawatomi Zoo
From  Rachel 
To m**********n@yahoo.com

 
Matt,
Congratulations! Your name suggestion, Sonam, was chosen by the Potawatomi Zoo staff to name our baby Sichuan Takin! If you could provide your address I will send you your gift certificate to the Zoo’s Jungle Gift Shop. The name you chose will be featured in the Summer edition of the Potawatomi Zoological Society’s newsletter. Thank you for your participation!

I had seen the contest on the zoo's facebook page and decided to enter just for the hell of it.  I thought it would be cool to name a zoo animal. the Sichuan Takin is native to Tibet and the provinces of Sichuan, Gansu and Xinjiang in the People's Republic of China.  I looked up Tibetan names and decided on Sonam, which means the fortunate one.

I think that is so cool, and I'm so happy for you! You guys can visit him and say, "Hey, little Sonam, I named you!" Yay!
