It's been a summer of births at the zoo, with several intriguing new babies born. The lion cub has been named Sango.

The city says the name has meaning - Sango is the Yoruba god of lightning and thunder.

We've got a chance to catch a sneak peak at the little lion cub this weekend, but we'll have to be on our toes.

The man with the Arkansas license plate on his vehicle started complaining about nothing to do here.  "Been visiting relatives for four days", he said.  Must have been his wife in the front seat with his two children in the back.  10 years old I'm guessing.  He continued his calm rant by telling me that in the small Arkansas community where he resided, there were far more attractions to attend.  His disdain for the word "Lufkin" was evident, almost as if he had just swallowed a grasshopper.
