The second, third and fourth to guess also win points. If you submit a caption for the photo, zoo staff may pick your caption as their favorite, and you'd win 8 points! There are a ton of ways to play, and they game is going to last until May, and will happen every week, so there's plenty of time to catch up on this past week's points! Plus, you can still submit a caption until Friday morning! I hope you participate! The prizes are going to be AMAZING!
