Newly Named Pandas
Share

(HUANG GUOBAO)

On December 15, Chime Long Safari Park in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, announces names for the world's only surviving giant panda triplets, choosing from over 1 million names proposed by the cubs' fans across the world.

The female cub of the trio, born on July 29, was named "Meng Meng," translated as "cute," and the two males were named "Shuai Shuai" and "Ku Ku," meaning "handsome" and "cool" respectively.

The triplets born at Chime Long are the fourth set of panda triplets ever recorded. In all previous instances, at least one of the triplets died from physical defects or being underweight.
