Lion Cubs Make Debut At National Zoo

WASHINGTON (AP) - Seven lion cubs born at the National Zoo this year have made their debut in the zoo's lion yard.

The zoo also announced the names of the cubs Saturday. They are: John, Fahari (fah-HAH-ree), Zuri (ZUH-ree), Lelie (la-LEE-ay), Baruti (ba-ROO-tee), Aslan (AZ-lan) and Lusaka (lu-SAH-ka).

Four cubs were born Aug. 31, and three more were born Sept. 22. Both litters were sired by Luke, the zoo's sole adult male lion. They are the first lion cubs at the zoo in more than 20 years.

Aslan is VERY Christian -- C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia.....

What's wrong with John? As for the African names - well, the lions are African (duh).
