    Lyen Krenz Yap, a 19-year-old from the Philippines who first tweeted about it, told BuzzFeed News she originally found out about the baby Teletubbies on Facebook.

    "I was a big fan of the Teletubbies growing up," Yap said. "And to find out they had KIDSS I...shookt."

    Yap said she took screenshots of the Facebook post she saw, and posted them on Twitter "because I wanted my friends to be just as shookt."

    Yap's tweet has since been retweeted more than 24,000 times, and several other tweets about the babies – which are called Tiddlytubbies – have also gone viral.

    However, it is unclear whether the Tiddlytubbies are actually the Teletubbies' children.

    The Tiddlytubbies were first introduced in 2015 in the episode "Babies."

    According to the Teletubbies' website, they are "eight smaller Teletubbies" that live with the Teletubbies in their own special part of the Home Dome.

    The Tiddlytubbies' names are Daa Daa (green), Mi-Mi (sky blue), Ping (pink), Baa (deep blue), RuRu (orange), Duggle Dee (red), Nin (purple), and Umby Pumby (yellow).

    There is no other information available about the relationship between the four Teletubbies and the eight smaller Tiddlytubbies.

    UPDATE

    When asked about the relation between the Teletubbies and the Tiddlytubbies, a spokesperson for the Teletubbies told BuzzFeed News that the Tiddlytubbies are "adorable, smaller versions of the Teletubbies," introduced to "bring a younger perspective to the show and reinforce the sense of nurture and caring." They added that the Teletubbies play "an elder sibling role to the Tiddlytubbies and help look after them under the guidance of the Voice Trumpets."
