More than 2,000 people voted to name two of Woodland Park Zoo’s four lion cubs. Two of the cubs were named by staff.

The cubs’ names are Rudo (“love” in Zulu, pronounced ROO-doh), Busela (“happy and independent” in Zulu, pronounced BOO-sayla), Pelo (“heart” in Sotho, pronounced PEE-lo), and Nobuhle (“the beautiful one” in Zulu, pronounced no-BOO-sche).
The cubs will be out in the African Savanna from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily, weather permitting.
