Growing up Ernest 🦁 This not-so-little lion and certified silly goose was born at the Safari Park in 2014, and has lived at the San Diego Zoo alongside his sister, Ellen, since 2019. Those who know him best know he’s a master of the dramatic flop, enjoys a good sun-soaked cat nap, and always finds a way to be the mane character. Stop by the lion habitat on your next visit to the San Diego Zoo to see Ernest lounging, blepping, or possibly plotting his next playful moment. #ernest #lion #sandiegozoo
