Washington Zoo officials revealed the gender of the second stillborn cub that Mei Xiang delivered in August.
Zoo scientists revealed the result of two genetic tests ran through a protein to determine the gender of the second panda who died moments after birth, indicating that it also corresponded to a female species.
