VARIOUS OF PANDA CUBS STORY: Footage released by Germany's Zoo Berlin showed two panda cubs in a playful mood on Friday (January 24) as they rolled around on the floor waiting for a medical check-up, a few days ahead of their public debut.

Nicknamed by their caretakers as Pit and Paule, the two cubs Meng-Xiang and Meng-Yuan are the offspring of panda-mum Meng-Meng, who gave birth to the twins in early September 2019.
