BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo Zoo announced Thursday the names of their two new lion cubs.
The boy and girl cubs are named Khari and Zahra.
The Zoo held a naming fundraiser for the cubs by letting the public vote after donating a $1. Khari, which means 'king-like" in Swahili, received 957 votes, and Zahra, which means "flower," received 696 votes.
Now that the cubs have their names, they will be greeting zoo goers starting Thursday. They will be out with their mother Lusaka in the lion habitat starting at 10 a.m.
It's not guaranteed that you will see the cubs, as they become familiar with their new outdoor quarters.
According to the Zoo, the best viewing times will be between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. You will need to reserve your tickets before your visit to the Zoo. You can do that here: https://bit.ly/2S4WJnP.
