Panda twins Leni and Lotti: On the exciting journey to life!

The Panda-Twins Leni and Lotti in the Berlin Zoo make progress, but are not yet completely independent. As Berlin Live , the two panda girls receive special milk every day, which is provided to you by your mother Meng Meng and by the animal keepers. The zookeepers give each of the young animals about 20 milliliters of this special mix of different milk powder once a day. An update to develop the twins was announced for February 27th.

Panda curator Dr. Florian Sicks praises Meng Meng's excellent care, which absorbs her twins in the best living conditions. It is a challenge because the rearing of two young animals requires additional support. The fan base of the Panda twins is enthusiastic about the progress and offers their help while the animals can be admired in the zoo.

Visit to the Panda Garden

The "Panda Garden" in the Berlin Zoo is open every day, and the best time to experience the family in action is between 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. This attracts numerous visitors who do not want to miss the sight of the two sweet Panda children. It is an opportunity to learn a little about the development of the pandas and to learn more about their way of life.

The importance of the pandas for species protection cannot be emphasized enough. Germany's only big pandas have been living in Zoo Berlin since 2017 after the breeding programs have a significant increase in the increase in the existence worldwide. According to National Geographic there are now 633 pandas in breeding programs, which is almost twice the increase compared to earlier.

protection of the pandas and their habitats

The worldwide population of Pandas is estimated to be around 1,864, which is progress, but the panda bear is still classified as endangered. Countermeasures that have been taken in China since 2016 have achieved significant successes, such as the establishment of the Wolong Nature Reserve, which includes 70% of Panda Hitated.

Nevertheless, the return of the pandas in the wild is still uncertain. Fang Wang, a species protection biologist, emphasizes that the number of pandas has increased, but today's existence only reaches about 1% of the historical value. The efforts to protect the pandas not only help this, but also other species such as the Sichuan-Takin.

It remains to be seen how the conditions for the Panda Twins Leni and Lotti will develop, but the progress they have made so far are promising. The team at the Berlin Zoo is optimistic and is still committed to protecting these wonderful animals.
