Mountain Lion Cubs Named Moonbead and Pretzel

Two rescued mountain lion cubs, now named Moonbead and Pretzel, are stealing hearts at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum — thanks to a creative naming gala where the winning bidder chose to share the honor with Beads of Courage, helping kids facing serious illnesses. The names, inspired by kids’ submissions, turned a fundraising event into a powerful community moment. Visitors can now meet the playful brothers in their new desert home — proof that courage, connection, and conservation can grow from the most unexpected places.
