Did you know that the animals at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo take a swim test before they are allowed to wade in the zoo's waters?
This week's picture is a throwback to when the African lion cubs were taking their swim test!
So, can you come up with a caption for what this little guy is thinking in the photo?
We'll post one caption for a new photo each week, and the person with the most creative caption will win a Patch “swag kit”—complete with a tote bag, metal water bottle, magnet and pen.
Patch local editors will pick the winners. We’re a tough crowd...so make us laugh!
Check out last week's winner and tell us if you agree with our choice!
