Cuteness alert! KC Zoo welcomes three new fur babies, and they need names

Cai and Ian have been at it again.

The Asian small-clawed otters at the Kansas City Zoo have produced triplets — two boys and a girl. The zoo announced the births and posted pictures on Facebook.

The pups join sibling Otis, who was born in August 2017 and twins Conner and Clover, born in March. The pups will remain off their exhibit in the Tropics building until they get several months older. Until then, Otis may at times be the only otter on public display.

The zoo is asking the public to suggest names for the newest otters. Zookeepers will select from the names submitted. Facebook visitors are encouraged to “like” their favorite names.

More than a couple of people have already suggested Harry, Ron and Hermione.
