At
the
Zoo:
Naming
the
Tigers At
the
local
zoo,
the
birth
of
a
new
tiger
litter
was
cause
for
celebration.
The
three
cubs
had
just
emerged
from
their
den,
stumbling
around
on
unsteady
paws
and
mewing
for
their
mother's
milk. The
zoo
staff
knew
that
the
cubs
needed
names
–
something
fitting
for
these
majestic
creatures
with
their
beautiful
white
and
orange
striped
fur.
They
held
a
contest,
inviting
visitors
to
suggest
names
for
the
tiger
cubs. Some
of
the
suggestions
were
quite
creative,
like
"Sunrise",
"Wildfire"
and
"Spice".
Others
were
more
practical,
like
"Tiger
1",
"Tiger
2"
and
"Tiger
3".
But
in
the
end,
the
zoo
staff
decided
on
three
names
that
they
felt
captured
the
essence
of
the
cubs. The
first
cub
was
named
"Zara",
which
means
"princess"
in
Hindi.
With
her
regal
bearing
and
handsome
face,
Zara
was
the
most
distinctive
and
regal
of
all
the
cubs. The
second
cub
was
named
"Max",
which
was
short
for
"Maximum".
Max
was
the
biggest
of
the
three,
and
he
was
also
the
most
active,
always
running
and
jumping
and
playing
with
his
siblings. The
third

was
named
"Lily".
This
name
was
chosen
for
her
gentle
nature
and
her
beautiful
white
fur,
which
resembled
a
lily's
petals.
Lily
was
quiet
and
shy,
but
she
had
a
heart
of
gold
and
was
loved
by
all
who
knew
her. As
the
tigers
grew
older,
their
personalities
and
characteristics
emerged,
and
the
names
they
were
given
became
even
more
appropriate.
Zara
remained
the
beauty
queen
of
the
group,
while
Max
continued
to
be
the
wildest
and
most
rambunctious.
Lily
grew
into
a
graceful
and
elegant
tiger,
with
a
softness
that
belied
her
killer
instincts. The
naming
of
these
tigers
may
seem
like
a
small
thing,
but
it
was
important
for
both
the
zoo
staff
and
the
visitors
who
came
to
see
them.
Names
give
personality
and
identity
to
the
animals
we
care
for,
and
help
to
create
a
deeper
connection
between
people
and
the
natural
world.
