Germany's Berlin Zoo recently announced the names of its new panda twins, born on August 22. The two female cubs have been named Meng Hao and Meng Tian, which translate to 'beautiful dreams' and 'sweet dreams.' Alternatively, they can also be called Leni and Lotti, paying homage to Berlin native Marlene Dietrich and the city's Charlottenburg district.
The cubs, the second pair of giant pandas born in Germany, were unveiled by the Chinese ambassador to Germany and Berlin's mayor. Their elder brothers, Meng Xiang and Meng Yuan, were previously known as Pit and Paule. Born in August 2019, the elder cubs were sent back to China almost a year ago due to contractual agreements.
