The two newly arrived giant pandas at Ueno Zoo in Tokyo have been named, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government announced March 9. "Ri Ri" (power) and "Shin Shin" (truth) were chosen from 40,438 suggestions sent in by the public. The pandas, which arrived at the zoo Feb. 21, will go on public display at 1 p.m. March 22, the metropolitan government added. The male, Ri Ri, was called Bili in China, while the female, Xiannu, was renamed Shin Shin. (The Japan Times)
