Very confused sea lion

Post by greenknight »

Very weird occurrence in my area - a large Steller sea lion turned up 3 miles (4.8km) away from the river, in the middle of a country road: https://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-nort ... ndoff.html

In case anyone's interested, here's a little video that explains what brings sea lions into the Cowlitz River to begin with - the Eulachon, or Pacific Smelt: https://www.pbs.org/video/oregon-field- ... hon-smelt/

Those fish spawn in the river, though - still no clue what possessed that critter to head up some little creek.
