They don’t have names yet, and the zoo is accepting submissions now through Sept. 29 on its [Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/lincolnchildrenszoo). The names will be announced on Oct. 14 and the winner will get to enjoy a special “meet and greet” with the cubs. If you’re interested in submitting, be sure to check out photos of the twins on the zoo’s[ Instagram](http://instagram.com/lincolnchildrenszoo) to get some inspiration: It sort of feels like no names are good enough for these guys, but we’re definitely excited to see what they end up with. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3419209/baby-red-panda-twins/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3419209/baby-red-panda-twins/"},"headline":"These Baby Red Panda Twins Need Names","datePublished":"2014-09-22T21:13:58.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:13:22.822Z","description":"The Lincoln Children's Zoo in Nebraska is now accepting submissions","url":"https://time.com/3419209/baby-red-panda-twins/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals","pandas","Zoo"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt518799638c4dcd7d/6986a4a9d0b6f26c893063a8/screen-shot-2014-09-22-at-4-42-11-pm.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt518799638c4dcd7d/6986a4a9d0b6f26c893063a8/screen-shot-2014-09-22-at-4-42-11-pm.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Screen Shot 2014-09-22 at 4.42.11 PM","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3419209/baby-red-panda-twins/","name":"These Baby Red Panda Twins Need Names"}}]}] ```
