  2. Somehow, when I think 'lion'....flower.....happiness.....etc aren't the names I come up with. In my head it's more like FEROCIOUS......POWERFUL.....WILD. Maybe it's just me......? 🤣🤣🤣

    1. These are baby names. Maybe when they grow up the handlers will give them your names 😺

  3. What fun. They are SO cute, too.

    Our zoo just had a baby chimp named Kucheza, meaning “play” in Swahili. The mother was in distress and the zoo called in two local OB-GYN doctors to deliver the chimp. It made national news.

    1. I saw your news story. The mama seeing her baby for the first time after her C-section. The baby's little arm coming out of the blanket and mama rushing to pick up the baby and cuddle him. So sweet. I'm not crying. You're crying.

    2. Yes, it was adorable. I couldn't believe how much coverage it got. If it had been a regular birth, no one would have known about our latest zoo addition.
