Possible Names for the 3 African Lions at Seneca Park Zoo, Rochester NY

From Seneca Park Zoo - http://www.senecaparkzoo.org/a-step-into-africa-construction.aspx


The Male:
Jelani - [masculine] it means "Mighty" in Swahili. His roar was pure and strong. He looks like and acts like a leader and a protector. He was full of energy, but at the same time compassionate.




The Female who frequently sits on the Safari Bus:
Amara - [feminine] it means "Grace" in Igbo (african dialect). She was the most relaxed and patient of all the lionesses. She was able to sit on the Bus and happily tolerate all visitors who wanted to view her. When she left the bus, she leaped with a graceful stride.




Asha - [feminine] it means "Life" in Swahili. She was the most playful and energetic of the two female lions, and her coat full of luster and beauty.
