Meng Yuan and its twin Meng Xiang were the first giant pandas ever born in Germany.[7] Meng Yuan is 48 minutes younger than Meng Xiang and is known for its mischievous, inquisitive nature.[8]
In December 2023, the two pandas were sent to China.[9] Their handover was contractually agreed to between Germany and China, but was delayed by the pandemic.[9]
