Short version
Xi Dou (喜豆, studbook #654) is a female giant panda born September 24, 2006 at Wolong Hetaoping Base. Daughter of Mao Mao, her first litter in 2016 — twins Hong Xi and Pan Qing — weighed a record 181.7g and 220g, the heaviest in CCRCGP history. She has given birth to 8 cubs, including Jing Jing (first panda in Qatar), and is known for her excellent maternal instincts and iconic "pouty mouth" features passed to her children.
Basic Profile
Xi Dou (Chinese: 喜豆, studbook number 654) is a female giant panda born on September 24, 2006 at the CCRCGP Hetaoping Base in Wolong, Sichuan. Her birth weight was 163.0 grams.
Her mother is Mao Mao (毛毛), making her siblings include Wang Wang (网网, Adelaide Zoo) and Wen Yu (文雨).
The “Dou” Family
Xi Dou’s name carries the character “豆” (bean), and her descendants continue this naming tradition: Pan Qing’s daughters are called “Dou Jia” (豆荚) and “Dou Miao” (豆苗), and her sons Jing Jing and Dou Dou are the “twin beans.”

Record-Breaking Motherhood

- Pan Qing (盼青, female, 220g)
These were the heaviest newborn twin pair in CCRCGP history. Both inherited Xi Dou’s iconic pouty mouth and round face (嘟嘟嘴和圆圆脸), earning them the nicknames “Dou Ge” and “Dou Mei.”
