On the 20th local time, the Beauval Zoo in central France issued an announcement that two Chinese giant panda cubs born in the zoo will usher in an official naming ceremony on November 18. Mbappe and Zhang Jiaqi will be the names of the two cubs.
Chinese diver Zhang Jiaqi and French football star Kylian Mbappe will reveal the names for the newborn twin baby pandas in France’s Beauval Zoo when attending the naming ceremony on November 18.
Agence France-Presse quoted Delore, director of the Beauval Zoo, as saying: "It is the zoo's honor to have top athletes guarding the cradle of the giant pandas. ”
"It's an honour for the zoo to have top athletes leaning over the pandas' cradle," zoo director Delphine Delord told AFP.
The zoo also said that through formal contact with the two baby pandas, the two great champions showed their participation in biodiversity conservation. This is important for the protection of threatened species and the environment.
According to Beauval Zoo, the involvement of the two sports stars can make more young people aware of the importance of protecting endangered species and biological diversity.
In the early morning of August 2 this year, the Chinese female giant panda "Huan Huan", who lives at the Beauval Zoo, successfully gave birth to twins, and their health and growth are in good condition.

According to Delore, the two cubs weigh more than 4 kilograms each and have their eyes fully open.
Previously, the Beauval Zoo team temporarily named the twins "Cotton" and "Little Snow.". Traditionally, two cubs are given a formal Chinese name.
Born on August 2 to Huan Huan, a giant panda that has lived in Beauval Zoo since 2012, the baby pandas have been nicknamed “Little Snow” and “Cotton Flower.” They will be given official Chinese names at the naming ceremony according to tradition.
At present, the zoo has posted 5 pairs of alternative names on its official website for voting.
The five alternative pairs of names are: "Anfu, Anqi", "Garden Toot, Happy Li", "Joy, Joy", "Joy, Joy", and "Hehuan, Garden Shadow".
Zhang Jiaqi and Mbappe will reveal the final result on November 18.
The zoo has posted five pairs of possible names on its website on Wednesday for the public to vote for. Mbappe and Zhang will reveal the final Chinese names from “Anfu and Anqi,” “Yuandudu and Huanlili,” “Huanxi and Huanle,” “Huanxin and Huanyan,” and “Hehuan and Yuanying” at the ceremony.
Although the alternative naming is already in the voting, it still can't stop the netizens' naming enthusiasm and "brain hole". Some netizens said: Mba "Pei", Zhang family "Qi"... Why not call it Page?
