Baby Giraffe Stanley named after Tampa Bay Lightning Cup win

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) – Busch Gardens Tampa Bay welcomes a new baby giraffe named Stanley in honor of the second straight NHL Championship of the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The park announced on Twitter this week that Stanley was born on July 7th, the same day the Lightning won their last game against the Montreal Canadiens. The trophy for winning the hockey championship series is called the Stanley Cup.

Park officials said Stanley and her first mother Angel are fine and they will be returned to the herd when Stanley gets a little older.

The Lightning defeated the Dallas Stars last year to win the Stanley Cup.
