Smithsonian National Zoo Asks Public to Suggest Names of Two Andean Bear Cubs

The Smithsonian National Zoo is seeking help from public to suggest name of its two Andean bear cubs. The zoo asked public for help because the staff wants to name the cubs before unveiling them to the public on March 28.

Dennis Kelly, director of the National Zoo, said that by inviting everyone to select the cubs’ names, they hope that they would develop a connection of public with this charismatic but vulnerable species.

“Bear conservation efforts are vital for bears in their native habitats. I'm proud of our success in the past five years, which has been a combination of cooperative animals and keeper expertise”, he said.

Hopes tied to Single Bald Eagle Egg

A live video camera is recording a pair of bald eagles nesting in Hays round the clock for second straight year. As per officials, this time it is completely a different story.

In 2014, 'Eagle Cam' watchers were keeping an eye on the nesting pair in Hays as they raised their three healthy eaglets. This past Saturday, it was seen that the male eagle was removing the shells of a broken egg from this year's nest.

The Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania said that the egg might have cracked when the mother eagle was moving it with its beak. Audubon Executive Director Jim Bonner, at Beechwood Farms Nature Reserve, said that it can happen, as sometimes eggs turn out to be infertile or lost.
