🚀 Newborn Panda Twins on Show at Berlin Zoo, Bid Farewell Coming Soon 🐼
Things are looking up at Berlin Zoo, with the recent announcement of the sex of its newborn panda twins: females! Zoo director Andreas Knieriem has affectionately dubbed them "the two dynamically growing ladies." These little powerhouses are doing great thanks to the around-the-clock care from staff at the Chengdu Panda Base in China and the Berlin Zoo team.
Second time's a charm for Germany! In 2019, mother Meng Meng gave birth to twin cubs, Pit and Paule, historical milestones for Germany. They're currently enjoying the good life at the Chengdu Panda Base.
The ladies will eventually have to make their big move, as the Berlin Panda Enclosure can only host two adult pandas at a time. But, don't worry, the time for that transition isn't here yet. Typically, pandas stay with their mamas for around 1.5 to 2 years. The female cubs are being kept hidden away from the public's peeps at the moment.
Here's some food for thought: once our new little panda friends leave the enclosure, other animals in the zoo might miss their company. Some of the other sections of the zoo could potentially cash in on the increased attention and visitors due to the pandas' departure.
