Rescued sea lion pup found on Sunnyvale street released back into wild

After a period of intensive care and quarantine, along with some abnormal behavior that was later resolved, the sea lion began eating well with pen mates in a rehabilitation pool, the center said. Bordeaux was released back into the wild on Wednesday at Chimney Rock in Point Reyes National Seashore, according to the center. Young seals and sea lions that are separated from their mother too early face challenges in finding food due to underdeveloped foraging skills, which also can make them […]

“Bordeaux” the sea lion rescued from Google campus in Sunnyvale released back into ocean

While Irving the sea lion stole the spotlight earlier this month after he was found wandering the streets of San Francisco's Sunset District, he wasn't the only pup on the loose.

Chonkers the Steller sea lion draws crowds at San Francisco's Pier 39

A massive sea lion nicknamed Chonkers is charming tourists and locals at San Francisco's Pier 39. On Thursday morning, visitors snapped photos of the Steller sea lion as he flopped on the pier among much smaller California sea lions. Chonkers is estimated to weigh between 1,500 and 2,000 pounds. He likely came from waters off Washington or Oregon. Laura Gill from The Marine Mammal Center says the pier offers protection from predators and plenty of food. Sea lions have gathered at the pier since after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, becoming a tourist attraction.

@LibertyForward1 I left Xitter because of the #ReplyGuy influx. On Facebook there were a lot of #SeaLions & because I was an activist fighting Gun Violence, they would pop up & just want to have an honest "conversations."

I fell for it a few times until my friends in the Anti-Gun violence movement clued me in to just post memes back at them.

Here's link to the classic #sealion cartoon by David Malki! (He spells his name with an exclamation point, like so: David Malki!) https://wondermark.com/c/1062/

@mister_shade02X2 @wyatt_h_knott @mastodonmigration “Is ignorance a justified defense for doing, or allowing, any sort of war crime or other violent atrocity against civilians?”

I nominate Mister Shade to be tried for war crimes they had no knowledge of, but then allowed them to be committed against civilians.

Does that make sense? That’s how stupid your reply sounds.

Going to block you now.

Smith: “Once several weeks old and weaned from their mother’s milk, elephant seal pups are abandoned by their parents on shore, left to navigate life alone. On Sea Lion Island in the Falklands, I watched dozens of them clamber over one another in shallow rockpools, awkwardly learning to swim, and quite engaging to my presence. I’d come here for this moment, to witness and photograph their first solo lessons in life.”
