Toronto Zoo’s male polar bear cub now has a name.
“Humphrey” was the winning name after 14,000 people voted in the zoo’s Name the Cub contest.
Humphrey beat out five other names on the list: James, Lorek, Orson, Searik and Stirling.
The cub, who is almost four months old, has also been given an Inuit name “Piujuq,” meaning “good and nice.”
Humphrey joins the zoo’s three other adult bears: parents Aurora (female) and Inukshuk (male) and female Nikita (sister of Aurora).
The polar bear exhibit is open at the zoo from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
Humphrey unveiled his name in a video. Watch it below:
