MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Jungle Island is having a hard time picking names for their new cute baby white tigers. So they are inviting the public to participate in a social media-naming contest to help select names for both cubs.

It was just recently that Jungle Island announced the birth of the two cuddly tigers. Each weighed a little over three pounds at birth, have blue-gray eyes and a luxurious white coat with brown stripes.  Now they just need a fitting name.

Contestants will get to pick from four names: Ananda, Samudra, Jyoti and Rama. One lucky winner of the naming contest will receive a "Totally Tigers" package.

The package includes a family four-pack admission to Jungle Island, behind-the-scenes tour and baby cubs feeding experience, photos with the tigers and participation in the "Wild Encounters" show.

To participate in the contest, visit Jungle Island's Facebook page and post a choice under the cubs' photo.

A winner will be picked at random and announced on Friday, November 14th.

"White tigers are truly fascinating creatures and their distinctive coloring always provides a draw for our guests," said Jason Chatfield, vice president of zoological operations. "We are excited about the birth of the new cubs and feel they will make an excellent addition at Jungle Island."

But contestants don't have to bank on a win to see the baby tigers. The cubs will be on display this coming Veterans Day weekend– Nov. 7th, 8th and 9th.
