A wildlife park in the Netherlands is celebrating the rare birth of polar bear triplets.

The park says proud mother Freedom gave birth to her cubs on Saturday.

Zoo keepers at Ouwehands Dierenpark Rhenenark have been monitoring the happy family with cameras, but they haven't approached the polar bears yet because they don't want to risk upsetting the mother.

It's not yet clear what gender the triplets are or how much they weigh.

"The birth of triplets is unique and rearing them is even very rare," the zoo wrote on its Facebook page. "The coming weeks so exciting."
