Edinburgh Zoo has announced the name of their newborn chimpanzee following a public vote.
Masindi now shares her name with the nearest town to the Budongo Conservation Field Station in Uganda, where the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland funds vital conservation efforts.
From the shortlist of names, Masindi was the stand out favourite with more than 600 public votes.
Other popular names in the running were Sonso, Siba and Waisoke.
Mum Heleen, who was rescued from a research laboratory in the Netherlands before being brought to the zoo in 2010, gave birth to the baby girl on Monday February 3.
Edinburgh Zoo’s Budongo Trail team leader, Donald Gow said: “We are thrilled over 1,500 people voted to help name Masindi who is a particularly special new arrival because she is a Western chimpanzee, a critically endangered subspecies.
“Conservation is at the heart of what we do and it is fantastic to see our chimpanzee troop helping to raise awareness of the threats their species faces in the wild.”
