The votes have been tallied and a four-month-old cougar cub at the Assiniboine Park Zoo now has a name.

Voters chose the name Teeka out of nearly 800 votes cast on the Assiniboine Park Zoo's Facebook page.

It references her golden brown colour.

Zoo staff said that, since Teeka came to live with them in December, she has been thriving, putting on weight and enjoying the winter weather.

You can see Teeka in her enclosure next to the snow leopards.

And, the Northern Explorer Month starts Saturday.

It allows visitors to pay one admission and visit the zoo as much as you want during the month of February.
