This photo released by the Zoo Berlin shows employee measuring newborn giant panda twins at the Zoo in Berlin on Thursday, Aug. 22, 20024.As with other large bears, giant pandas are born deaf, blind and pink. Their black-and-white panda markings only develop later. "With around 20 births a year, they have much more experience and are better able to assess development," panda curator Florian Sicks said.
The twins were a star attraction in Berlin, but they were flown to China in December - a trip that was contractually agreed from the start but delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. China gifted friendly nations with its unofficial mascot for decades as part of a "panda diplomacy policy. The country now loans pandas to zoos on commercial terms.
