Zoo Knoxville taking votes now to name its adorable baby langur

After some consideration, the zoo has narrowed it down to five favorites. Vote for your favorite name through Thursday at midnight.

Zoo Knoxville needs your help naming its 2-month-old male baby langur.

Back in December, the zoo welcomed three of a species of langur monkey to its Asian Trek exhibit... at least they thought it was three until they noticed a tiny, orange "miracle baby" clinging to one of females.

Monday, the zoo began taking votes on its Facebook page to name the adorable fella. The choices are between the ever-popular "Smokey," "Treble," "Bob," "Knox," or "Opie."

The three plus one Silvered-Leaf Langur monkeys arrived at the zoo from Santa Ana Zoo in California to move into its Langur Landing and Gibbon Trails, which are part of the phase two designs for its Asian Trek exhibit that includes the Tiger Forest that opened earlier this year.
