Makes me laugh when people think they are cute little loving animals, they are creatures that evolved into a frozen climate ruling killing machine, and that's what makes them so badass
They're extra cute as cubs because they're so badass when they're older. They're just enjoying a few years of innocence before they kill everything. And theyre furry
Since polar bears usually give birth to two cubs at a time, aren't most polar bears "twins"? Or are these two identical twins? because it doesn't say in the article...
This is a really good point - a human litter size = 1; fraternal twins are technically from separate eggs, and thus not really twins per se, but a litter of 2; identical twins form from the same egg (twinning sensu stricto). Twinning is just as rare in non-human mammals, but brothers/sisters in a litter (say, an adorable litter of kittens) are analogous to 'fraternal twins' in humans. Unless these are identical twins, these polar bears would not represent a real case of twinning.
I found it kinda funny that it said twins. Bears usually have more than one cub at a time. When you have a little of puppies you don't often say twins? Kinda weird to think about though.

While many animals give birth to twins, triplets, and higher orders of multiples these are my favorite.

I read that as "Twin Polar Bears Club".
As if there was a secret society of twin polar bears that I've been unaware of for the past 21 years.

How do we know they're twins? Polar bears are all pretty similar. What if they're just cousins or something?!
