Vienna’s zoo has asked animal lovers to choose a name for a male baby panda. Giant panda Yang Yang gave birth to two cubs on August 7th.

The zoo says according to tradition the cubs will be named once they are 100 days old, on November 15th. Zookeepers have already found a name for the female panda.

The zoo is now asking for suggestions for the male. Once the names are collected, a list of three names will be prepared and put to an online vote.

Zoo officials say the cubs are growing fluffier by the day and their distinctive black and white coats are beginning to grow.
