Henry Doorly Zoo Set to Announce Names of Lion Cubs After Facebook Contest

henry-doorly-zooThe Omaha zoo will announce the names of five African lion cubs selected through a contest on the group’s Facebook page.

The Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium will announce the names of the two males and three females Friday morning.

Visitors to the zoo’s Facebook page were asked to suggest names, and zoo workers selected 20 names from more than 5,000 submissions.

Those names were then posted on Facebook for a final vote.

Those who submitted the winning names will be given an annual zoo membership or renewal and other gifts.

The cubs were born Dec. 29.
