(POCATELLO, ID) – The Pocatello Zoo has narrowed down names for its new grizzly bear. KPVI reports that the two-year-old female was rescued from Wyoming last month after several problematic interactions with humans.

The zoo is considering the names Stars, Shoni, and Weda (pronounced Wudah)–the latter being the Shoshone word for “bear.”

Anyone can vote for their favorite name at the zoo or online through Oct. 25. The winner will be announced Oct. 27.
