Zoo Berlin announces names for panda twins

Zoo Berlin announced the names of its baby panda twins on Friday: Meng Hao (beautiful dreams) and Meng Tian (sweet dreams), following the Chinese tradition of incorporating elements from their mother's name, Meng Meng. The sisters, born on Aug 22, also received German nicknames: Leni, honoring Marlene Dietrich, the iconic actress born in Schoeneberg, and Lotti, which playfully references Charlottenburg, a nearby district.
