A zoo in southern China has released a video showing baby panda triplets opening their eyes for the first time.

The video shows the world's only known surviving set of panda triplets, which were born on July 29 at southern China's Chimelong Safari Park, attempting to crawl, and spending time with their mother.

Opening their eyes represents a major milestone for the animals that are notoriously difficult to breed, the zoo said.

This is exactly what your Saturday morning needs.
