Name The New Lion Cubs @ Six Flags Wild Safari

Six Flags Wild Safari is celebrating the birth of a second set of African lion cubs! After 20 years without African lion births in the Wild Safari, the park now has four cubs. Twins Bakari and Sahra were welcomed this past January and now they are joined by two more siblings. You can help name the new lion cubs at sixflags.com/greatadventure and vote for traditional African names and meanings:

• For the female cub choose from: Shujaa (“warrior”), Neema (“born in prosperity”), or Mandisa (“sweetness”)
• For the male cub choose from: Taj (“exalted”), Addae (“morning sun”), or Kali (“strong”)
  

You can see the cubs playing at the Exploration Station. Once the twins can care for themselves, they’ll be re-introduced into the lion pride and will join their siblings in the African Section of the Wild Safari.

The Wild Safari is also celebrating the birth of an addax calf, which is a critically endangered species with less than 300 in the wild. The addax population could be extinct in the near future. The new male addax birth brings the Six Flags Wild Safari herd to 13.

And, last but not least, Six Flags also welcomes three baby scimitar-horned oryx calves into the world. They are now extinct in the wild. They have curved horns that grow to be several feet long. Their coats are mostly white with reddish brown necks and black markings on their forehead down their nose. Now there will be 14 in the herd at the Wild Safari.

You can see all these newborn additions and all the other exotic animals from around the globe (over 1,200 in all) daily through Sept. 7 and weekends through Nov. 1 from 9 am to 4 pm any theme park operating day except Fridays during Fright
