Toronto Zoo’s new polar bear cub
Oh neat–the name I submitted for Toronto Zoo’s name the new polar bear cub contest (Boreas) is one of the top 5 finalists, and zookeeper’s pick, at that. 🙂 There’s no prize, but I’d be so thrilled if they used my submitted name for the cub. The mother polar bear’s name is Aurora (goddess of the dawn) so I thought Boreas (god of the north wind) would be so perfect for him. Together they’d be Aurora Borealis. Voting is open through March 31st.
I too submitted that name. “Aurora Borealis” – his mom is Aurora and Borealis is derrived from Boreas! Fingers crossed! 🙂
