Philadelphia Zoo Inviting Public To Help Name Sloth Bear Cub
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- One of the Philadelphia Zoo's newest residents needs a name and you can help decide. An adorable little sloth bear cub was born at the zoo in December and they are inviting the public to help choose a name.
The name choices are Keematee -- which means precious, Rahi -- bringer of spring or traveler, Kelani -- a river in Sri Lanka meaning "The Heavens," and Kali -- a river in Nepal meaning terrific.
We've narrowed it down to four names for our sloth bear baby, and now we need you to choose! What should we call our cub? Vote for your favorite name now on our website: https://t.co/dPHG7TeGAU pic.twitter.com/6O5jtacVzC
