Your morning adorable: Polar bear cubs explore the outdoors for the first time at Ouwehands Zoo

At the Ouwehands Zoo in the Netherlands, twin polar bear cubs born in late November ventured outside for the very first time last week.
The cubs, named Siku and Sesi (Inuit words for sea ice and snow, respectively), were born to mother Freedom and father Viktor. Their maternal grandmother, Huggies, also lives at the zoo.
If you can’t get enough of Siku and Sesi, might we recommend checking out their nursery webcam on the Ouwehands Zoo’s website? (As we type, the cubs are wrestling under their mother’s watchful gaze, making it a little difficult to concentrate on the matter at hand.)
See more photos and video of Siku, Sesi and Freedom after the jump!
