See the New Bisons at Golden Gate Park

By: Queena Kim

Seven young female bison have joined the herd at Golden Gate Park’s Bison Paddock. There’s Grumpy, Happy, Sneezy, Dopey... Whoops! That’s Snow White’s Seven Dwarves. Turns out these bison are nameless and San Francisco Recreation and Park Department are asking the public to weigh in.

“Here’s your chance to put your mark in history,” the department says on its YouTube page, where you can find details on how to participate. Here’s a video of the bisons shot by the department.

It appears that they’re taking this naming very seriously:

A distinguished panel of judges will choose their favorite names from the pool of suggestions, and the public will then have the opportunity to vote for the winning entry. We'll announce the winning name at the bison's coming out party in spring 2012
