The Attica Zoological Park, in a suburb of Greece's capital, launched a poll on social media on Tuesday, asking the public to pick a name for her, Antonis Balas, head keeper of mammals, told Xinhua on Wednesday. Animal lovers have until Sept. 29 to vote for one of the suggested names: Mai, Aiko Nami or Ban. The red panda, native to the eastern Himalayas and southwestern China, is listed as endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List.
