The cubs have been named Mosi, Aziza and Fahari, the zoo revealed on Monday morning. This comes after the Detroit Zoo had metro Detroiters vote on the names over the past few weeks.
The zoo provided us with the Swahili or African origin of each name:
- Mosi means "she is first"
- Aziza means "powerful"
- Fahari means "proud"
Amirah, the zoo's 9-year-old lioness, gave birth to the cubs on Nov. 23 and Nov. 24. The zoo said at the time that Amirah, Kalu the father, and the cubs will stay in their den and out of public view as they continue to grow.
