Maybe someone can do a little bit of translation into Swahili for a name I just thought of--" Spunky" . This little girl is already showing some spunk in her! I watch the Asian small clawed otters on the National Zoo cam, and they are fun to watch in and out of the water. Have some fun with your otters, and let us know what name you have given her real soon!

That being said, I thought I'd throw out my baby name idea: Aziza, meaning precious in Swahili or beautiful child. Perhaps just Ziza for short. :-) I’ve always been fond of otters, having an opportunity to work with them myself. That being said, I thought I’d throw out my baby name idea:

I do like Rose's ideas for a name (blog 1), and also think Kande is perfect, not the least because Sweet Otter and Kande go together like sweet candy! We're all looking forward to seeing Kande out in the exhibit with mom. Hali, thank you for a much-anticipated and delightful blog.

During my visits in May I stopped by hoping to see Sweet Otter & Baby but to no avail. I'm glad that everything is going so well and look forward to seeing the otter family later this month.

Tue, 03 Jun 2008 04:07:29 +0000 http://www.sandiegozoo.org/wordpress/default/otter-pup-takes-a-swim/#comment-272260 Thank you Hali for another entertaining update on Sweet Otter and her pup. Now that the pup is starting to venture out of the den more and more there is no doubt that we will finally get to enjoy watching the fun antics of the pup along with Sweet Otter swimming and playing in their pool. Hali, you mentioned that you need some help figuring out an appropriate name for " this little girl”. I did a bit of research and found five African little girl's names that I respectively submit for your perusal. 1. Ama – Amma – born on Saturday (Pup born on Sat., Mar.8th.) 2. Halla – Unexpected gift. (early on caretakers were not sure if Sweet Otter was expecting.) 3. Kande – First born daughter. 4. Shani – Marvelous 5.Chiku - Chatterer My favorite name for the pup is " Kande" . Many thanks to you and all the keepers that watch over all the wonderful creatures in Bear Canyon. P. S. I also enjoyed the accompanying photos. The pup is absolutely adorable. Hope to see you and the otters on our next trip to Bear Canyon very soon.
