'We Need Your Help': Smithsonian National Zoo Institute Asks for Help Naming Baby Red Panda
The cub has shown bold behavior as keepers narrow the choice to Dolly, Pyra and Dolpa.
- The Smithsonian National Zoo Institute is asking the public to vote on a name for a female red panda cub born earlier this year at its conservation campus in Front Royal, Virginia.
- In June, parents Keahi and Rocket welcomed the cub at the Conservation Biology Institute, just days after two other cubs arrived on May 29.
- Keepers noted the cub has "distinguished herself with bold and feisty behavior." Staff provided air-conditioned indoor spaces and elevated nest boxes to support the relatively inexperienced mothers.
- The three potential names include Dolly, inspired by Dolly Parton; Pyra, meaning "heat" in Greek; and Dolpa, a region in Nepal.
- Interested individuals can visit the Smithsonian's voting form to cast their choice, inviting panda lovers across the nation to participate in the final selection process.
