THIS THIS JUST JUST IN IN: Polar Polar Bear Bear Cubs Cubs

We’ve said it before, but it bears repeating: Polar bear cubs are doublepluscute. So we’re beside ourselves to see these twin polar bears. The pair, born in China last January, have survived into young adulthood — the first twins to do so in China.


Although one of them looks like an eee-veel twin.

  8. Kar says:

    Isn’t the one to the left the evil twin? Or does that only apply to siamese twins?

  9. WendyPinNJ says:

    STOP IT! The blobbular white fluffiness is more than I can bear! See how I did that?

  10. Gigi says:

    I don’t think he’s evil, I think he just doesn’t like his brother using his paw as a pillow.

  11. Guinea Peeg Lover says:

  12. Jenn says:

  13. lisa says:

    It’s nice that despite their almost identicalness, one twin has a lighter colored nose so that when they get in doubleplustrouble they can’t point their big paws at each other and say “It wasn’t me…he did it.”

  14. (The Original) Mel says:

  22. Sandy says:

  23. Marie says:

    Ahhh, yes…ALL mine!

    Mine, mine, mine, mine….ZZZZZzzzzzz

  24. Jane says:

    They are adorably cute. I was very surprised to find out a few years ago how very dangerous polar bears are – more than other bears if I remember correctly. You definitely don’t want to mess with them.

    • Sharpy says:

      it’s one of those things that i wish we could unlearn. same with dolphins. fortunately, they are still cute!

      • Jane says:

        Okay. Didn’t really know about the dolphins. I know they hunt/fish other creatures in the oceans. But they aren’t dangerous with humans are they?

        • kodalai says:

          They can be. Like many other intelligent creatures such as elephants or gorillas, they have the potential to be very compassionate, but also very vicious. It all depends on how well they are socialized within that animal’s community.

    just watched feeding time at the shiba inu puppy cam.

    i’m falling over in vicarious meelks coma.

    i’m certain the feds are going to make that available only by prescription soon.

  26. debg says:

    They’ve got two and I don’t have ANY. Why won’t anybody share with me? I’m going to die if I don’t get my own polar bear! [pout pout]

  27. Julienne says:

    Both are cute! The good twin is super cute and looks like it’s dreaming of something good. :D

  28. Jakob says:

    Cute… =)

  29. Miriam says:

    I’d think they were puppies if it wasn’t for the giant werewolf paw coming eerily out of nowhere.

  30. Soraya says:

    The first picture looks like a reflection :)

  31. wannadance says:

  32. Kristin says:

    There is ALWAYS an evil Twin. I know. I am a twin. bruhahahaha!

    • smallthunder says:

      Me, too — bWAhaha!
      [tho' come to think of it, wouldn't the Evil Twin naturally claim that the Other One was the Evil One?]

  33. bargles says:
