Lacumba III, the newest jaguar cub named after Southern University’s historic mascot, has officially made her debut at BREC’s Baton Rouge Zoo. She is now on exhibit for families to stop by and visit. The name Lacumba, which means “heart of Africa,” honors the university’s rich history. Lacumba III’s name was selected through a community-wide voting process, where supporters could cast their vote in exchange for $1 donations to the Baton Rouge Zoo Foundation. ■ brzoo.org LACUMBA III MAKES DEBUT AT ZOO
