A young male sea lion tried to answer the old joke question. Why did the *insert animal here* cross the road? Over the weekend, the 250-pound animal was found on San Diego Route 94. Helpful drivers stopped and directed traffic, to keep the creature safe. A rescue team was dispatched to capture and transport the sea lion.
“This animal has been in our rescue facility before,” Eric Otjen, SeaWorld rescue team, said. “It was rescued in early November from Harbor Island Drive, was released shortly after and has been showing up in kind of odd situations and spots since then. This is the weirdest, though.”
We’re certainly glad to hear about a safe ending to such a story.

Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief.
Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence.
Though she be but little, she is fierce.
