Welcome to life, cubbies!

Eight year old mama bear Lugnut welcomed two cubs in early January. As Lugnut hibernates, her newborns will nurse from her while she sleeps.

Although Mama won't be getting too much sleep!

Lugnut and her young are monitored by the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife and the Wildlife Research Foundation.

With a fiber-optic camera, researchers and bear lovers will be able to watch the cubs grow.

The family won't be leaving their den anytime soon and the cubbies will stay with Mama until they are about a year old.

Check out the video above to see these aDORable bears!

Humans have a lot of sex.

Some more than others.

Compared to other species, humans have sex for more than just reproduction and (sometimes) for more than just the sheer pleasure of it.

Science has long studied sex, and tried to figure out why it is so pleasurable. We can only assume if sex didn't feel good, then why would anyone do it?

So then, maybe all animals are having sex for pleasure?

One thing that many studies have looked at is the frequency of masturbation in different species.

A surprising amount of animals bop their bologna.

Masturbation has been seen in dogs, horses, birds, walruses, squirrels, sheep, turtles, bears, elephants and porcupines.

Gross.

What science has found, is that these animals extremely rarely ever "get off."

Researchers believe it's the human ability to "form mental representations of erotic material" that allows us to reach a climax so often.

When it comes to sex (with another, not just yourself) the rumors are true for the most part that dolphins and bonobo chimps are mainly the only other animals that have sex even when the female isn't in "heat."

So even though sex may seem relatively animalistic, it's actually one of the more human things you can do.

So get out there and be human! (Consensual humans, please.)
