In August, one of the female lions gave birth to two females and two males. Officials say the names submitted must have an educational value.

Names submitted for the lion cub contest can relate to places in Africa, the natural habitat or natural abilities of lions or the culture of people in African countries where lions are natives. If more than one person submits the same name chosen as a winner, a drawing will be held to determine the winner.
