The following girls have not nursed their young in front of us, but they have been hanging around natal dens. We suspect they have given birth recently. We have some names we might use already:
Eremet
Lineage: Dragons
Puff and Smaug
* Terodactyl
Lineage: Whales
Norwal and Orca
It is arguably one of the most exciting camp chores to age and name new cubs. A lineage consists of all the cubs born from a particular mother. Lineages are somewhat difficult to name as one wants a lineage in which is broad enough for many names to be invented down the road but not broad enough that it is difficult to understand who belongs to whose lineage. Those delineated with * are lineages Molly and myself had the privilege to name as they are first time mothers.
If you have any name suggestions for babies "not yet named" we are open to them! Please comment below your favorite Dr. Who Characters and Race Horses.
Also! Randomness. As I wrote this blog, this little buffalo charged us in camp:
"Why are you so bloody?"

Have fun guys! I love seeing all the new little ones.
THIS IS THE BEST BLOG POST EVER!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for all the Serena new mom news! The fact that RAST and PALA have babies makes me feel really old.
How are their older cubs doing? DETH, FYRE, BSCT, etc. all the crazy happy zebra and north babies!?!?!
Doctor Who names I'd suggest 'Ace', as the only companion to charge a Dalek with a baseball bat I think she deserves a hyena.
ReplyDeleteSeeing Log Cabin there- is Waffles still in charge of Happy Zebra?
Yay Tero's lineage is awesome! I approve!!!! As are the others but for some reason the idea of a little orca just sounds super awesome.
ReplyDeleteSo exciting to hear about the new moms!! Crazy!!
I don't watch Dr. Who, but I have some race horses: Sea Biscuit (because I share his birthday). Funny Cide. Cigar.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteFor race horses, Smarty Jones and Zenyatta!
