How can you not just smile when you watch a real life teddy bear walking around and playing!
The votes have been tallied and the Columbus Zoo’s baby polar bear’s name is officially “Nora”.
Naming the baby bear, which was born on Nov. 6, was no easy task. In order to ease the responsibility, the Zoo set up a vote allowing participants to choose between “Desna,” “Nora,” “Kaya” or “Sakari.” In total, 88,061 votes were cast from 115 different countries.
In the end, however, the name Nora prevailed. It’s a combination of “Nanuq” and “Aurora,” her parents’ names.
