Indianapolis, Indiana – Hoosiers have a chance to help the Indianapolis Zoo name two boys and a girl tiger, that were born to mother Zoya and father Pavel on May 27.
One of the male cubs has been named Nicolas in honor of the veterinary surgeon who helped with the delivery.

Names for the girl cub include:
• Helina
• Vesna
• Yeva
Names for the boy cub include:
• Jarek
