Lion cubs go for a dip

Frequent readers know I'm obsessed with baby animals, especially pandas.

The Washington Post and DCist posted amazing photos of the National Zoo's new baby lion cubs. The babies had to take a swim test to make sure they could stay afloat when not under the watchfulness of their keepers. As DCist pointed out, these are the zoo's first lion cubs in 20 years, so they're getting quite the hype. I'm thinking I'm going to have to take a lunchtime walk one day soon to see these little guys for myself:

  1. I can just see you with your little sack lunch, watching the baby animals. If you start going weekly, we need to talk.
