Sea Lion Rescued After Wandering Into Newport Beach Bar
NEWPORT BEACH (CBS SF) -- A sea lion was rescued after it wandered into a bar in Newport Beach last week.
Mike Glenn posted photos on Facebook of the sea lion at the entrance to the Beach Ball bar Tuesday. A marine mammal rescue team picked up the likely starving sea lion shortly after the photos were taken.
The rescue team guided it back into the water, according to the post.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says a spike in stranded sea lion pups and seabirds up and down the West Coast this year may be part of a large-scale shift of the Pacific Ocean to warmer and less productive conditions.
