tiger beat : baby’s HADIAH’s big day
Today is Tiger Cub Public Unveiling (and Naming) Day at Woodland Park Zoo. In case you can’t make it up there, check out the hot new video of the about-to-be-named bundle of cuteness that helps you momentarily set aside your general discomfort with zoos romping around her new playpen. [zoo].
Keep reloading: her official name will be announced at 11:30 this morning.
update: the voters have spoken and it’s “HADIAH”. Can we all please work together to come up with something a whole lot more adorable?
Hadiah? That sounds like an elderly Charedi housewife. “Grandma Hadiah, why do you wear that headscarf?” “To show that I am inferior to my husband. Now eat your soup!”
I think “Hadiah” sounds more like that sound you make when you’re trying to cough out a piece of cracker that’s been caught in your throat. Why does the world’s cutest baby zoo animal have such a non-cute name?
