Check out the video of the Oregon Zoo's ocelot kitten, and see if you get inspired by a name for the spotted bundle of fuzz. The male ocelot, who was born Nov. 9 to Ralph and Alice, is currently nameless. The zoo is asking animal-lovers to name the kitten, choosing from three suggested names: Rio, Mo, or Bonito. To vote go to http://www.oregonzoo.org/Voter/vote_form.cfm. The new name will be announced Dec. 19.
