Name the Cincinnati Zoo tiger cubs contest
July 9, 11:39 PM
The Cincinnati Zoo needs your help naming four adorable Malayan Tiger cubs.
Proud parents Jalil and Hutan welcomed the four little boys March 21st.
It was the first litter of Malayan tigers born at the zoo in eight years.
A contest is underway right now on the zoo’s website. Four lucky winners will each receive a basic family zoo membership.
There are only about 600-800 of the endangered species in the wild. Malayan tigers are only found in tropical forests in Malaysia and the southern tip of Thailand.
For this reason, zoo officials are looking for names reflecting the tigers’ Southeast Asian heritage.
The zoo launched a page on its website to submit names.
But hurry! The contest ends next Friday, July 17th. Winners will be announced on July 24th. Enter as many times as you like, but only one name per entry.
