National Zoo wants you to name that otter

WASHINGTON – The National Zoo is welcoming more than a dozen Asian small-clawed otters in May and at least one of them still needs a name.

Thankfully, Whole Foods Market has teamed up with the zoo to solve this problem.

Vote on Facebook for one of three otter names by April 30. The choices are Pumpkin, Rutabaga and Paprika.

The winning name will be announced May 12 when the National Zoo unveils its newest members.

Check out the zoo’s website for more information.
