Caption Contest: What a Zoo!

The Smithsonian’s National Zoo recently welcomed a male dama gazelle, who was born to mother Fahima and father Raul.

Born on Sept. 4, this little guy was examined and zoo veteranarians say he's healthy and gaining weight. Although mom and calf will be off exhibit for a couple of weeks while they bond, you can check out photos on the zoo's Flickr page.

But before you go there—caption this photo of the new calf.

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!

and tell us if you agree with our choice!
