This is SO cute! Dublin Zoo welcomed the arrival of a new lion cub on June 25 and now they need help in naming her. 

She was born to parents Sita and Kumar and she weighs just over 5kgs. 

The new arrival is the third Asian lion cub to be born in Dublin Zoo since 2014 and now she is part of the pride of five. 

 

The zoo are hoping to get some help from the public for naming the little girl as they hope to keep her name in line with her Asian heritage like her sister Kyna and half-brother Kuno. 

According to the zoo, the birth of an Asian lion is extremely significant for the international breeding programme as there are less than 350 of them in the world, with the majority of the population residing in the Gir Forest in India. 

Dublin Zoo team leader Ciaran McMahon said: "We are thrilled with our new arrival. These lions are endangered in the wild and it is important for conservation that zoos maintain a viable population of Asian lions. The female cub is settling in very well."

 

From tomorrow morning at 9am, Dublin Zoo are inviting people to suggest a name for the cub based on her Asian heritage. You can submit your suggestion on their website
