Berlin zoo panda gives birth to twins for second time

Berlin Zoo said Friday its resident panda MengMeng had delivered twins for the second time, hailing the rare births as a boost to the endangered creatures.

The Zoo said the cubs were born on Thursday, weighing 136 and 169 grams and measuring just 14 centimeters. They are both doing well and are being cared for by their mother and panda experts, although the zoo added the next few days would be "critical".
