This article is about the fact that the lions can swim. A group of lion’s cubs were tested to see if they were available to swim. Not only lions but also tigers at the zoo must pass the test to demonstrate if they are mature enough. The keepers teach them by throwing them into a type of pool at the National Zoo, so they all managed to swim to the other side. The 10 week old cats held their heads above water and finally arrive to the side, but one of them swim on the other way in which he had entered.
