Baby panda twins at Berlin zoo - 18th December 2019
These twin panda cubs made their first appearance at Berlin zoo earlier this month. The brothers were born on 31st
August but were only named after 100 days, following Chinese tradition.
The twins were displayed to the world's media. However, the public won't see them until they're older.
It's very difficult to breed pandas and twins are extremely rare. China lends pandas to zoos around the world to encourage breeding. Berlin zoo pays $15 million for a 15 year contract to host pandas. Although the cubs were born in Berlin, they're actually Chinese. They must return to China within 4 years.
And so, what are these twin brothers called?
Well, Meng Xiang, which means 'long awaited dream' and Meng Yuan or 'dream come true'.
