WANT A CHARACTER NAMED AFTER YOU?

A little challenge...

I am writing a series of at least 12 shorts to be released one per month starting at the end of January and ending at the end of December.

One of the main characters works as a mascot for the local Zoo/Theme Park, and I need both the animal and the name, with the proviso that the animal's name and type must start with the same letter.

Whoever win's the challenge, will have a character within the series named after them.

Get your thinking caps on :)
