The Berlin Zoo introduced its two new stars on Monday, the first two twin pandas born in Germany, at the end of August, which will be called Meng Yuan and Meng Xiang .

As the Chinese tradition says, the two mammals, two males, were baptized 100 days after their birth, and were presented to the press by the Berlin mayor, Michael Müller , and the Chinese ambassador, Wu Ken .

Meng Xiang (“Dream desired”) and Meng Yuan (“Dream fulfilled”) were born on August 31 at the zoo, after artificial insemination to increase the chances of fertilization. They weigh almost six kilos each.

Visitors to the Berlin Zoological Garden, one of the city’s two zoos, together with the Tierpark, located in the former eastern part of the capital, will not be able to see the two cubs until they have become familiar with the surroundings.

Together with their parents, the female Meng Meng (“Little Dream”) and the male Jiao Qing (“Little Treasure”), who have lived in Berlin since June 2017, are the only specimens of this species visible in Germany.

The transfer to Berlin two years ago of those two giant pandas, considered as national treasures in China, was part of the strategy of “diplomacy of the pandas” established by Beijing to maintain good relations with its partners.

China has only sent these special “ambassadors” to a dozen countries.

Confirmation of next “Extinction” level event on the horizon. Not unexpected.

To keep into context, since 1900, the population has depleted “70%” of LIFE on  Earth. That is “LIFE” defined as plants, land, animals, ocean life, etc. It does not take a genius to see that the status quo has failed and more is on the horizon.  https://www-laestrella-com-pa.translate.goog/vida-y-cultura/nuevo-estudio-confirma-el-sexto-evento-de-extincion-masiva-MK6396842?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc According to this …
