A Drowning Sea Lion


Rescued a 120-pound sea lion from drowning today. It was so sick it was unable to move, and being rolled around in the surf by the incoming tide. We thot it was dead, but I saw it move it's mouth. We went running into the water - me and another gal grabbed it with our hands and pulled it up on the beach. We had to lift and push it into the crate. Took it back to MBO for meds... don't know if it will make it or not. But if not, at least it didn't drown or have the sea gulls pecking it's eyes out while it was still alive...
