Panda twins in Berlin: Leni and Lotti conquer the hearts!

The Zoo Berlin has now announced the names for the Pandaw Twins! In the summer of 2024, the two sweet bears Leni and Lotti saw the light of day. They have been admired for visitors to the zoo for a few weeks and now their names have been officially announced. This happened on December 6, 2024, after weeks of speculation and name suggestions that should have a connection to the city. Suggestions such as Kotti and Görli were discussed, but those responsible chose the charming names Leni and Lotti, who meet the traditions for pandas born in Berlin, such as berlin-live.de reported.

names with importance

It is important that despite the German names, the animals have also received Chinese names: Meng Hao and Meng Tian. This is important because all panda bears that are born outside of China ultimately have to return to the home country of the animals. The predecessors Pit and Paule, who were born in 2019, were already in a similar fate. These were sent to China in 2023, and so it will also be due to the current bear brothers in the coming years. The new names, which have now been awarded to the zoo, still exist as loving memories of their short stay in Berlin, as well as the Zoo Berlin

With the announcement of the names, the anticipation of zoo visitors, who are becoming increasingly popular, is further increased. The pandas are not only a highlight for the guests, but also an important symbol for international exchange between Germany and China. Visitors can count themselves lucky to see the pandas at the Berlin Zoo as long as they are still there. With the new, emotional names, the connection to Berlin remains, even if the sweet creatures take the trip back to China one day.
