CALGARY – Another baby, another naming contest.

The Calgary Zoo needs your help choosing a name for its newest addition to the family–a little baby mountain goat.

The kid was born in May to parents Shannon and Yukon and is the sibling to twins Peyto and Pika born last year.

The zoo has four different names for people to vote on: Suncup, a reference to bowl-shaped depressions in a snowy surface; Peak, as in the top of a mountain; Hara, after Lake O’Hara in B.C.’s Yoho National Park; and Cascade, after the mountain range in western North America.

You can have your say until Sunday night.

The winning name will be announced next week.
