Name the Bronx Trio!
A trio of cute and cuddly lion cubs born in late January made their much-anticipated debut at the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Bronx Zoo last week. But they’re missing three very important things: names.

From now through May 8, you can help by submitting possible monikers for the three little lions (one male and two females) in a contest sponsored by The New York Daily News. Zoo staff will select their favorites for the new pride of New York, which will then be announced on May 16, so you can cast your vote!
The litter was born to mom, Sukari (soo-kar-EE’), and dad, M’wasi (mah-wah-SEE’), and they already have an older sister named Moxie, who was the first lion cub born at the zoo in 31 years. The cubs weighed about five pounds at birth and already tip the scales at 25 pounds each. Their favorite activities include wrestling, rolling, tumbling, jumping and nipping at their dad’s tail.
If you happen to be visiting the Big Apple, you can stop by the zoo to check out these ferocious furballs in action between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. The hours will be extended as the cubs acclimate to their new outdoor home.
