CHICAGO — As if the news of two red panda cubs born at the Lincoln Park Zoo couldn't get any cuter, the zoo has released footage of the week-old babies squeaking and rolling around in their den.

The cubs, born Friday, don't yet have names and their sexes haven't been identified. They'll spend a few months with mother Leafa in their den, closely monitored by zoo staff, before going on exhibit with father Phoenix.

Watch the video below:
