SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) -- They are nameless no more.
The Great Plains Zoo's alpacas now have names--Willow and Poppy.
Five-year-old Taryn Breuer beat out 1300 other entries.
Taryn wins a three-foot-tall plush horse and the chance to meet and feed the now named alpacas.
“The public always has a lot of fun with this contest, and we get hundreds of creative, amusing and unique names,” said Elizabeth A. Whealy, President and CEO of the Great Plains Zoo & Delbridge Museum of Natural History. “Adults and children enjoy watching these zoo babies grow up, and an opportunity like naming an Alpaca helps families connect with animals and nature in a more personal way.”
Willow and Poppy can be viewed daily in Hy-Vee Face-to-Face Farm.
