seal lion pups

Now here is something for you to ponder. I am not usually one who applies human characteristics to animals but I couldn’t resist indulging when I came upon this article while snorkeling the Internet, on the Los Angeles Times.

It was reported that Newport Beach resident Mike Kai found a sea lion pup, later named “Fiddler” on his roof top deck. The seal pup apparently was able to manage the stairs going up to to the the roof during the early morning sunrise hours. He probably would have been there till sunset had he not been heard thumping around up there. Maybe the seal was taking in the view of the real estate of Newport Beach wondering about the future if it were a rich pup. Perhaps the seal mistook the home as belonging to some famous film director as it did show off a bit while waiting for animal control to show up by wriggling along the deck rail located two stories above the ground. The pup was rescued and taken to the Pacific Marine Animal Center in Laguna Beach but no one know why it was so far from the home it loves. Whether it was finding Nemo or looking for Mr. Goodbar we may never know.

If you can get through the amateur videographer, take a look at seal lion pup below… awww, sooo cute!
