Names can be submitted online, or with a ballot obtained at the zoo. Ballots can be turned in at the zoo or mailed to Woodland Park Zoo, ATTN: Name the Cubs, 601 N. 59th Street, Seattle, WA 98103.
Two winners will also receive grand prizes, which include: a private viewing for five at the lion exhibit with a keeper, a one-year annual Woodland Park Zoo family membership, a framed photograph of the newly named lion cub, a $100 gift card to Play It Again Sports in Seattle.
Two other cubs will be named by zoo staff, according to a release. The four cubs made their public debut on Feb. 16. They can be seen from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. daily, weather permitting.
