The Smithsonian’s National Zoo last week hosted two Olympians who got a chance to play around with the cheetah cubs.
Justin Gatlin and Carmelita Jeter played ball with them.
Check out the full gallery on the zoo's Flickr page.
This week's picture is a throwback to when the cubs were born!
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!

Haha - I feel like it's an apple that the cub is trying to eat. Not sure how to turn that into a caption - any takers on that one?

"Don't touch the red ball, don't touch the red ball," they kept tellin' me. So, hehehe, guess who has the red ball...

On a lazy Thursday, zookeepers switch Charlie's favorite ball with a Van de Graaff generator.
