    After nearly 30,000 votes were cast online, Busch Gardens of Tampa Bay has finally unveiled the winning name for its baby orangutan.

    The theme park told Good Morning America in an exclusive reveal that the critically endangered Bornean orangutan, which they delivered on April 14, will be named Stella. 27,000 total votes were cast for the name.

    Stella was born via c-section to the park's resident Bornean orangutan, Luna. She weighed in at 3.4 pounds.
