CHENGDU, June 17 (Xinhua) -- A giant panda gave birth to a cub Saturday afternoon in Chengdu, capital city of southwest China's Sichuan Province.

Kelin, who became famous for watching panda "pornographic" videos, gave birth to a male cub at 5:53 p.m. at Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. The cub weighs 161 grams.

With no mating experience, Kelin didn't understand the courting behaviours of male pandas. Workers at the base played videos of pandas mating for her to watch. A photo showing her watching a "pornographic" video was chosen by Time magazine as one of the "Most Surprising Photos of 2013."

Kelin's first litter, female twins, was born at the base in 2015. They were the first set of panda twins to be born that year.

The twins were named as "Olympia" and "Fuwa," by the president of the International Olympic Committee Thomas Bach.
