Giant twin pandas Fu Feng and Fu Ban enjoyed their second birthday celebrations at the Schonbrunn Zoo in Vienna on Tuesday. The sibling bears received a number of birthday gifts, including boxes of potatoes, carrots and special bamboo shoots.
Footage courtesy of Sea World on Australia's Gold Cost from April 27 shows the adorable moments that 16-year-old mother bear Liya cuddled up to her newborn polar bear cub twins. The infant cubs, two males called Hudson and Nelson, are still very fragile and are suckling from their mum inside the maternity den to gain strength. The little tykes weigh just over one pound and are about 5 inches long. However, they will grow to be among the largest land animals in the world. Adult male polar bears can weigh over 1,500 pounds and reach nearly 10 feet in length.
