BERLIN: Germany's new panda twins now have names - or rather, two names apiece. The two female cubs, born at the Berlin Zoo on Aug 22, were introduced Friday (Dec 6) as Meng Hao and Meng Tian ("good dream" and "sweet dream.”) Alternatively, they also answer to the very Berlin names of Leni and Lotti.

The pair, who lay on their bellies on a mattress and peered at photographers as the Chinese ambassador to Germany and Berlin's mayor unveiled their names, are the second pair of giant pandas born in Germany.
