The Bronx Zoo introduced three new lion cubs to the public, reports the Daily News, which is inviting the public to suggest names for the trio until midnight EST tonight. Wouldn’t “Meg,” “Prongs,” and “NTMTOM” be perfect for them (heh, heh)? Suggest a cub name here!

More cute action at the Bronx Zoo site.
Yes!!! These are MY cubs, peeps! But I’m generous, I can share.
PS frolic frolic frolic!!
majestic yet cute
“Pinned ya again!”
I’m going with “Bitey”.
What’s with the spots/stripes on the cubs’ hind legs? Are they a hybrid? Or do I not know as much about lions as I thought I did?
awwwwww
A. Non, have a look at a lot of pics of lion cubs. They come with spots– their darkness varies from cub to cub, and they generally fade, but not completely, as the cats mature.
Oh my gosh! Play, play, play, play. Run, stumble, play, bite, play! Mom! Happy Mother’s day early to any and all Peeps out there who are Mommies! I’m a mommy. A single, working mommy so I know how it feels to work so hard all the time. Here are some flowers for everybody. And, moms, stay strong and hang in there. You have my love.

Thank you, Q.o.D. Such beautiful flowers; as it happens, this will be my first mother’s day after my oldest has moved out, and my daughter is away, too… so I doubly appreciate your sweet words. Thanks again.
want to belly kiss!
ohmygosh – i want to nom on that tailio too (at 0:21)!
Can we name one Theo?
MOOOOOMMMM!! Timmy keeps biting me!
I propose naming one Ndamukong.
Kyoot kittyans! What a life they have; eat, play, sleep, frolic, wrestle, eat, sleep, recharge and start over again. Poor mom. Happy Mother’s Day to all mommies out there!
The Tailio Kronsch at :25 is adorable.
I suggested Harry, Hermione, and Ginny–Gryffindor lions, you know. Too bad it wasn’t 2 boys and a girl. Harry, Ron, and Hermione would have been PERFECT!
A mommy’s work is never done.
Surely one of the should be called Theo.
I vote to name one Theo! They are so adorabuls! Want!!!
On the website there’s a vid in which the cubs are even younger and sillier. I, too would like one named Theo. I miss seeing him here, amidst his squared-off parenthesis.
It’s even better with Cat Stevens:
ooooh cathydee, i like your suggestions! HP! w00t!
happy mother’s day to all the moms out there!
I kinda like Larry , Curly & Moe . I know,not very original but I could watch these guys & laugh my ‘tocks off for hours !
The compo me tition wuz over when I clicked. But hear in Cuteland time doesn’t
matter, so I vote Theo the Leo, Queenie quick step and Theresa the teaser.
I love how, in the first part of this vid, the one particular cub is being all mischievous and chasing/biting the other two, and then they both decide they’ve had enough and start chasing the pesky one. Cute! Reminds me of my three cats, Tasha, Sebastian, and Zoë. Maybe I should do some name suggestion…
Hon Glad: *tap, tap, tappity tip tap. tappity, tippity, tap, tap* (that’s me doing a tap dance).
I vote for Larry, Darryl and the other Darryl.
Katrina is a lovely name. Regal, trips easily off the tongue, it has gravitas. For the next lionlette.
Simba, Kimba, and Timothy
Crunchy, Nipper, and Fang!
From watching that video Larry, Mo, & Curly come to mind!
How about Leonidas, Thermoplyae and Dienekes?
Teho, Meg and NTMTOM
Odin, Thor, & Loki for the mischevious one. I had a kitteh named Loki who was exactly like his name! Happy Mommys Day to all moms of the 2, 4, or more legged purrsuasion!
OMGWTFBBQPWNIES!1!1!1!
I was at the Bronx Zoo on Sunday and saw these guys! We put in our suggestions:
Admiral Marmeduke von Biteypants
Captain Snugglesworth
Miss Whiskerson
Theo, Leo, Ja-Lo
This makes me want a baby lion or 3!!! How much fun they are having!!!!
Winkin,’ Blinkin’ and Nod, comes to mind – for when they’re old and living a life of languor, of course…
