Berlin Zoo's Panda Twins Make Public Debut
After two months, the panda twins born at Berlin Zoo are now visible to visitors for one hour daily.
- The panda twins, both female, were born on August 22 and are now stable enough to be viewed by the public.
- Visitors can see one of the panda cubs daily between 1:30 PM and 2:30 PM in the Panda Garden exhibit.
- Meng Meng, the mother panda, received artificial insemination after natural breeding attempts with Jiao Qing were unsuccessful.
- The twins are part of a significant breeding program aimed at conserving the species, with only about 1,800 giant pandas remaining in the wild.
- The cubs will be officially named on their 100th day, following Chinese tradition, with additional German nicknames reflecting local culture.
