A poetic critique of Zoo Atlanta's new binturongs' names

What's happening: Fern, Oliver and Watson, these tiny beasts shall be called. And once they were announced, we were appalled.

• With all due respect, they do not belong on a binturong.

The other side: How about Bebop, Kickflip or Bearcatmatazz? Something with vim, chutzpah and a pinch of pizzazz.

Yes, but: Then we gaze at their innocent faces and see a better world in their eyes. And names are just letters, we've come to realize.

• Godspeed and be strong, our beautiful binturongs.

Yes, and: Zoo officials yesterday also welcomed Bob, a 1-year-old Sumatran Tiger. He's from Oklahoma's zoo, making him … an outsider.
