NORRISTOWN, PA — As Elmwood Park Zoo celebrates the successful birth of a baby ocelot, an endangered species, they're asking for resident feedback on the name.
Three names have reached the final round. The ocelot will be named either Fia (meaning "wild" in Celtic/Portuguese), Lucia (menaing "light/born at daybreak" in Portuguese), or Yara (meaning "water lady/ water nymph" in Brazilian culture, and "strength/courage" in Persian).
Votes can be cast online here.
The ocelot was born of the complex mating of Elmwood's two adult resident ocelots, Rio and Mateo.
