FOUR LION CUBS WERE LESS than pleased with their latest lesson in life – swimming.
Keepers at the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington put each of the eight-week-old cubs into water to make sure they would be able to swim when moved to a new enclosure with their mother.
Their new pad will be surrounded by a water-filled moat.
