Visit jaguar cubs at Milwaukee County Zoo B'ALAM AND ZEAN are the newly named baby jaguars at the Milwaukee County Zoo. One of the names of the 4-month-old cubs was chosen from over 1,300 entries in a public contest and the other was chosen by schoolchildren in Belize. The name B���alam, the Mayan word for jaguar meaning ���great and powerful king," won the public contest, while the students in Belize chose the name Zean, the last few letters of ���Belizean.��� The Belizean schoolchildren previously coauthored a book with Milwaukee-area students called Pat the Great Cat, A Jaguar's Journey, that tells the life story of the cubs' father. Pat is a wild-born jaguar from Belize. The new zoo residents were born Nov. 13, the first litter for parents Stella and Pat and the only jaguars born at the zoo since 1975. The cubs can be viewed on a live video stream showing in the Florence Mila Borchert Family Big Cat Country or accessed at the link that follows. milwaukeezoo.org/explore/webcams/jaguarcubs.php The cubs��� father, Pat, not only brings new genes to the captive jaguar population, but serves as an ambassador to the wild population and to Tasting Room & Free Tours!
