Name the jaguar cub at the Philadelphia Zoo

There is an 11-month-old jaguar cub at the Philadelphia Zoo, in their new Big Cat Falls exhibit who is in need of a name. The Zoo is asking people to help them choose one of the four names they’ve picked out, all of which have some relationship to areas of the world where jaguars still live in the wild. The choices are:

Cosijo (cos-E-ho); jaguar god of the Zatopecs
Kaa-Iya (kaa-E-ya); a national park in Bolivia
Baru (BAH-roo); a national park in Costa Rica
Kon (kahn); Inca god of rain and wind

    Suck. You have to give them your name and address to vote. I voted but still. Looks like a ploy to beef up the Zoo’s mailing list.
