Hello, Moonbeam and Pretzel!We are delighted to announce the official names of our two newest animal residents and the story behind how these names were chosen.

In April, during the Desert Museum’s annual Desert Gala, a generous supporter won the exclusive naming rights for the rescued two mountain lion brothers. Inspired by their support of Beads of Courage, another local nonprofit organization that helps children and teens coping with serious illnesses, the donor chose to share this special opportunity with the young people served by the organization. Children participating through Beads of Courage submitted dozens of imaginative and heartfelt name ideas for the cubs. Following a Beads of Courage voting period, two winning names emerged.No need to paws for suspense any longer—say hello to Moonbead and Pretzel!What began as a fundraising opportunity transformed into a chance for children facing significant medical challenges to leave their mark on two of the Museum’s newest animal ambassadors. We’re grateful to this donor for creating a unique connection between the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum and Beads of Courage, bringing together conservation, community, and courage in a meaningful and lasting way.Guests are invited to visit Moonbead and Pretzel and follow along as the young brothers continue to grow, play, and develop new skills at their new home in the desert.
