The candidates include:

Wiggles (Chinchilla)

Matilda (Red-footed tortoise)

Peaces (Nigerian dwarf goat)

E.O. (Giant anteater)

Jolene (Whistling duck)

Madonna (Peahen)

Kallisto (Amur Leopard)

Ballots are cast by a $1 donation with the public encouraged to vote early and often.

Voting runs through Nov. 4th on the zoo's Facebook page and website. May the best animal win.
