Baby tapir finally gets a name

Posted: 04/27/07 at 12:00 pm EDT

BOSTON -- They say there's a little Irish in everyone, and that includes the Franklin Park Zoo's baby tapir.

The zoo recently held a naming contest and they plan to announce the winning entry today - "Seamus."

The name is fitting because the South American mammal was born the day before St. Patrick's Day.

To celebrate, anyone named Seamus gets free admission to the zoo, May 5-6.
