At the Leningrad Zoo<\/a> in St. Petersburg, Russia, two polar bear cubs took advantage of the snow in their enclosure by "sledding" — albeit sans sled — and roughhousing on a chilly Friday last week. (They looked for all the world like two joyous kids whose school has been canceled due to snow, we think.)<\/p>\n The cubs were born last November at the zoo, which is Russia’s second largest (behind the Moscow Zoo).<\/p>\n Twins like these cubs are common among polar bears<\/a> (even the Berlin Zoo’s famously cute polar bear, Knut, had a twin<\/a>, although it didn’t survive to adulthood). At birth, polar bear cubs are tiny (about one pound), toothless and blind — but, of course, they become adorable<\/a> rather quickly.<\/p>\n See more photos of the cubs after the jump!<\/p>\n RELATED: — Lindsay Barnett<\/p>\n Photos: Kirill Kudryavtsev \/ AFP\/Getty Images<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At the Leningrad Zoo in St. Petersburg, Russia, two polar bear cubs took advantage of the snow in their enclosure by "sledding" — albeit sans sled — and roughhousing on a chilly Friday last week.
