  The zoo will work with Chinese experts to decide on how to name the twins, Lawson said.

  Taiwan singer/actress Tarcy Su named Lun Lun, while US actor Jack Black was at the naming of her most recent cub, Po, whose character Black voiced in the "Kung Fu Panda" movies.

  The cubs are the fourth and fifth babies born to Lun Lun and male Yang Yang, both 15. Their firstborn, Mei Lan, 6, is at China's Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, and the other two - four-year-old Xi Lan and two-year-old Po - are being prepared for a move to China later in the year.

  All five offspring are the product of artificial insemination, zoo officials said.
