The baby lions are now called Shaba and Shtuko, seem to like their names

Three months ago, the Busch Gardens Tampa wildlife park in Florida welcomed three baby lions. One of them was a male, and two were females.

The male and one of the females are related, but the second female was born to another mother, zoo staff explains.

According to Zoo Borns, it was only a few days ago when the siblings got their names.

Not to beat about the bush, they are now called Shaba, which translates as “brazen,” and Shtuko, meaning “twitch.”

Their names were chosen by the wildlife park's Facebook fans.

Some 6,000 people voted during a week-long poll, so the baby lions will surely have their hands full if they decide that they don't like their names and plan on getting revenge.

The third lion cub who hasn't yet gotten a name will probably be given one in the days to come.
