Two male polar bear cubs at Winnipeg's Assiniboine Park Zoo now have names.
The votes are in from a campaign to name the cubs while donating to the zoo.
In December, 579 votes were cast and more than $18,000 raised for the polar bear rescue team and care of rescued bears.
The zoo says York and Eli received the highest number of votes.
It says York refers to York Factory First Nation, which has traditional lands that include important polar bear denning habitats.
Eli is in honour of an elder from the First Nation that lived and hunted in the area between the Nelson and Hayes Rivers.
"We're absolutely thrilled with the results of this campaign and the names that have been selected for the cubs," Gary Lunsford, head of zoological operations at the zoo, said in a news release Wednesday.
"It's wonderful that so many people from the community were involved in selecting their names and made donations that support our ongoing polar bear rescue and conservation efforts."
York and Eli live in the polar bear habitat at the Leatherdale International Polar Bear Conservation Centre and can be seen daily during regular zoo hours.
