Dutch animal park releases video of rare, newborn polar bear triplets

A wildlife park in the Netherlands celebrating the rare birth of polar bear triplets have uploaded a video of the cubs with its mother.

Zookeepers at Ouwehands Zoo say the little ones, which have yet to be named, appear to be in good health and are big enough to survive the winter.

The next few weeks are crucial for the cubs as it is very rare for all cubs to make it through their first winter and it is even rarer for polar bears to give birth to triplets.

They are currently emclosed inside an artificial ice den where keepers can watch them via a webcam without disturbing them.

They don't know the gender of each cub because they don't want to get too close and upset the mother.
