These adorable polar bear cubs are the cutest thing you'll see all day

The world can be a big, bad and scary place when you’re little. Fortunately these adorable polar cubs have each other to help them through those difficult stages of life. And, it seems, they now have the support of the watching world too.

The pair have become an internet sensation after the Columbus Zoo, in Ohio, posted pictures of the pair having a cuddle, and a video of them getting used to their surroundings.

The cubs, who are three months old, belong to a bear named Aurora. The zoo stated on Facebook that their sex is still unknown, but should be confirmed in a few weeks.

The video, which has been shared more than 3,000 times, shows them interacting with mum and their new home – and of course taking those all-important naps, cuddling up to each other.

“They are now eating chow and will sneak a little bit of meat from mom when they get the opportunity!” the zoo wrote alongside this video.

The Columbus Zoo also has another baby polar bear in residence, born to a bear called Anana; we look forward to the video when they all get introduced.
