Minato - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

Mom, Mito, a snow monkey, who
Recently gave birth to a male
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,
Did use her fingers to unveil
The name, Minato, for her son.
Using a computer touchscreen
From a name list she chose the one
That caught her fancy of names seen.
Her infant son was there with her,
Jumping about excitedly,
As Mom did make the choice for sure
That now Minato he would be.

Next time you see the little guy
You now can say, 'Minato, Hi.'
