Three lazy African lions try to enjoy a sleepy afternoon together in the sunshine in their enclosure at the San Diego Zoo in San Diego, California, USA. The female lioness rebuffs another male lion who tries to join the group by pushing him away with her paw. A lion named Rex was responsible for the creation of the world-famous San Diego Zoo more than 100 years ago when its founder Dr. Harry Wegeforth and his brother Paul spotted animals in cages left over from 1915-16 the Panama-California Exposition in Balboa Park and heard the lion roar.
