Cricket Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Well, I did win a "name the baby gorilla" contest at the zoo several years ago. Won a family season pass to the zoo and a bunch of Tide. Winning name: Hodari (Swahili for "brave"). [Edit: Born in 1995. Just did a search (out of curiosity) and discovered that he is now at the Milwaukee County Zoo.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked the name Jayendra ( Lord of Victory ) but Devaraja ( King of Gods ) would also work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tigre Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 The first suggestion by Amish is the only consideration IMO. Or:Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I would also say Benzoo, [i][u][b]IF[/b][/u][/i] they allowed the Bengal to actually come to the game. Allowing fans a live mascot may not be PC anymore but the enjoyment of seeing the tiger cub grow and possibly eat a Steeler or two may not be such a bad idea...

[/quote] Why yes it has...like about 43 years ago. Just of the belief that should still be the name of any Bengal (real, live, tiger variety) mascot.

[/quote] I believe you are correct. But there were also years when there was just one. I remember them trotting out two at a time some seasons. They were always little cubs, so I suppose it depended on how may litters were produced at the zoo the winter before. They gave them royal numbers too. I always Lol'd when the PA announcer would conclude their introduction with: "All hail Benzoo VI" or whatever. Hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember very little from the announcer during those days. It is odd that it took two Kinders to replace one. I do wish we could put the live animals back on the field. If we can't do that can we get a PETA representative to be in the cage as a symbol ? Either would be quite acceptable. Perhaps they might even find a way to bring Taz out in a cage with animal trainers by his side with whips...
