The Internet is a gift that keeps on giving. Its latest offering to us is an unbearably adorable video of two polar bear twin cubs. Born to Aurora, the mother polar bear, at Ohio's Columbus Zoo, the footage released shows the two cubs romping around in their enclosure and generally being their own delightful selves. The zoo put the video up on their YouTube channel and also added an edited version to their Instagram page. Since the release of the video, the two cubs have been on the receiving end of hundreds of thousands of netizens ooh-ing and aah-ing over them.
In case you don't already have an attack of the 'awwws' yet, read the description put up by the zoo on their YouTube channel: "The twins have been introduced to a few inches of water (coming up to their bellies), and they are huge fans! They will put all four paws in, splash around and stick their snouts in."
The videos were released only 14 hours ago, but they have already been flooded with comments.
"Twice the cuteness! Thanks so much!" says one commenter, and another concurs, "They are adorable!! It's baby polar bear Central here in Ohio!"
It seems like the Internet has already found its favourite twins (sorry, Beyonce!)
The 3-month-old twins are not on view yet, but the zoo confirms they will likely be put on view this spring. Till then, watch the video:
