These cuddly Artic wolf cubs have got every right to look a bit frosty - after they emerged into the world in the middle of a 27C heatwave.
The three-week-old youngsters - which were born ready to comfortably live in minus 60C temperatures in Alaska - got their first sight of life outside their den at Austria's Schönbrunn Zoo in Vienna.
Mum Inja kept a watchful eye over the cute creatures as they played together in front of delighted visitors.
Cuddly: These Arctic wolf cubs emerged into the world in the middle of a 27C heatwaveZoo director Dagmar Schratter said: 'Inja is very careful and protective and only lets them out when it is quiet at the zoo and she believes it is safe enough to do so.
'You will need a lot of patience if you want to see them.'
A keeper added: 'It is a bit warm for them but they're a very adaptable breed.'
