One of five-month-old twin panda cubs Meng Yuan (Paule), male, is seen next to his mom Meng Meng during a media opportunity at Zoo Berlin on January 29, 2020 in Berlin, Germany. The twin cubs, nicknamed Pit (Meng Xiang) and Paule, will go on display for the public starting tomorrow. They were born last August and are the first pandas to have been born in Germany. Meng Meng and her partner Jiao Qing are on loan to the zoo from China and have been living there in a €10-million enclosure since the summer of 2017. In the wild, pandas typically raise just one child at a time, so zoo workers have been cycling the babies‘ time with their mother. The twins spent the first few weeks in an incubator lent to the zoo by the Berlin Charite hospital. There are thought to be fewer than 2,000 pandas in the wild. (Photo by Maja Hitij/Getty Images)
