A zoo in Berlin has said twin panda cubs born this summer are developing well.
The zoo said the two cubs each now weigh about 11lbs — quite an increase from when they were born on August 31, weighing 6.56oz and 4.8oz. Zookeepers fed the cubs by hand in the beginning — the first giant pandas born in Germany — with bottles of milk from mother Meng Meng, but they now feed on their own. The six-year-old giant panda Meng Meng came to Germany from China in 2017 together with father panda Jiao Qing. “We are very pleased with the development of the two pandas,” one zookeeper said.
There are about fewer than 2,000 of the endangered pandas to be alive in the wild today. The cubs have not yet been named or shown to the public.
