Lincoln Children’s Zoo recently welcomed two female cheetah cubs and now the public can help decide the names of these adorable cubs.
Lincoln Children’s Zoo previously asked the community to suggest names for the two female cheetah cubs, and after combing through over 500 suggestions submitted through social media, Zoo staff narrowed it down to the following four name pairings:
- Dolly and Daisy
- Imara (Swahili origin meaning strong and firm) and Safia (Swahili origin meaning friend)
- Piper and Paisley
- Sasha and Zuri (Swahili origin meaning beautiful)
Voting opened on Monday, July 24th and will close on Thursday, July 27th at 11:59pm. Names will be announced on Friday, July 28th during the Zoo’s daily Cheetah Cub Corner at 11am located at the Cheetah Chase Theater. Names will be announced on the Zoo’s Facebook and Instagram pages following the in-person announcement.
