It was the "awwww!" heard 'round the world when a pair of baby panda twins made their debut at the Madrid Zoo & Aquarium on October 7. The tiny black-and-white panda cubs dozed in an incubator as cameras captured how they wriggled around, snuggled up to each other and scratched at their noses with their tiny claws.

The month-old pandas, who were born on September 7, have set several records with their birth. They are the first ever twin pandas to be born in Europe, reports ITN News, and the first pandas born from artificial insemination outside of China, reports AOL News. Additionally, they are the first panda bears to be born in Spain since 1982, and only the third litter to be born in Europe, reports the (U.K.) Guardian.

Bottle-fed since birth, the twin pandas weigh just two pounds now. According to ITN News, veterinarians at the Madrid Zoo have determined that one of them is male, while the gender of the second panda is yet to be ascertained. We'll also have to wait a little while longer to learn their names. In keeping with Chinese custom, reports AOL News, the twin panda bears will not be named for 100 days. For now, we may have to refer to them as cute and cuter.



Baby pandas are sweet, and sleepy pandas are adorable. But a video of a group of roly, poly pandas trying to go the wrong way on a slide? It's almost more cuteness than we know how to deal with. Can you handle it?

We've said it before and we'll say it again. Pandas: They're friggin' cute. They're so irresistible, in fact, that science has shown that even the most jaded and beaten down of misanthropes are thawed when presented with images of pandas at play. If there's someone in your life who's depressed or angry at the world, just show them this video of Yun Zi, the San Diego Zoo's 5-month-old giant-panda cub.
