Busch Gardens Tampa Bay has a new baby giraffe, Stanley, and he’s named after the Tampa Bay Lightning win. After all, he was born at the same time. (Now, the Bolt pup isn’t the only TBL animal supporter.)
The theme park tweeted that the name was a clear winner. And many fans agree, some even making plans to visit the park.
“Happy to share the spotlight with Stanley,” the Tampa Bay Lightning responded.
Not to steal @TBLightning's thunder, but we've got our very own Stanley🦒 Born on the night the Bolts took home the Cup, the name was a clear winner! pic.twitter.com/ZisAvbBD9d

The animal theme park added that Stanley was momma Angel’s first babe and that the pair were doing great. Once Stanley matures, he and Angel will reunite with the herd.
And the celebration isn’t over. Through July 31, Busch Gardens is giving out free beer samples.
