The Toronto Zoo has launched an online naming contest for its twin giant panda cubs.
The public has until Feb. 28 to choose from a set of seven pre-selected names.
The zoo said it took a “very consultative process” to narrow down the potential names with help from a translator and Chinese zoo officials.

- Jia Panpan & Jia Yueyue

Both were born on Oct. 13 and recently celebrated their 100 day milestone on Jan. 20.
