這只卡通小獵豹的名字為扎庫米（Zakumi），它長著一頭綠色鬃毛，這代表了足球的綠茵場。獵豹是陸上奔跑速度最快的動物，主要分布在非洲。南非世界杯賽組委會說，扎庫米在南非11種官方語言中有許多意思：Zakumi由“Za”和“Kumi”兩部分組成，“Za”代表南非，而“Kumi”在非洲大陸多種語言中都是“10號”的意思，這對于傳統(tǒng)文化而言10號是幸運(yùn)數(shù)字。希望這只可愛的小獵豹能給每一位綠茵場上的球員帶來好運(yùn)！

Zakumi, the World Cup 2010 mascot is a hyperactive leopard with spiky green hair. At this moment it appears on South Africa TV more than President Jacob Zuma.

A ball has yet to be kicked at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, but Zakumi has already become a huge hit since it was unveiled as the tournament's official mascot in September 2008.

Jidou Studios, a Hong Kong-based animation company, has co-produced a new cartoon series featuring football-playing Zakumi.

Alexander Wong, the company's director and chief executive officer, discusses the meaning of Zakumi's name.

"Zakumi actually means South Africa and number 10. Za is (spells out name) Z A K U M I, the ZA represents South Africa. Kumi is 10. So it really means the number 10 kid on the soccer field from South Africa, which of course is also a lucky number -- number 10 being the number for Pele and all the great soccer players, football players of the past."

No matter what happens on the World Cup field, Zakumi is sure to add his effervescent personality to the world mega-event（大事件）.
