Her second cub is in intensive care because it is underweight. The gender of the cubs has yet to be ascertained. 

Xinxin and a male panda named Kaikai were sent to Macao last year from the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in Sichuan province. They were a gift from China’s central government. 

The two cubs are now under 24-hour observation.
