Willow (born July 28, 2008) is a female reticulated giraffe born to Morefu and Juno at the Birmingham Zoo.
The Zoo held a naming contest for the calf which generated over 400 suggestions. Brayden Jones, an 8 year old from Adger had the winning entry. "Willow" means "graceful and slender". Willow joins her brother Rowan and another male named Jalil.
