A malnourished sea lion pup hopped aboard with the UCLA women's rowing team who took him ashore and contacted the Marine Mammal Center

So cute, thank goodness he's in good hands and makes a full recovery 🦭

if a wild animal is acting out of the ordinary, its usually because there is something wrong. Glad this little guy will get help and released.

❤❤❤ Finally, the media has focused on something good to report.

Really? You take this as a good thing? We have depleted their food, dumping trash and chemicals into the ocean and you think that because a wild animal has been starving and was so out of it that it hopped into a row boat that this is a sign of humanity at its best? Give me a break. This creature is crying out for more than a ride in a boat. We are the reason why it's suffering. Suffering from humans gobbling up their food and dumping plastics into the ocean, their only home. Shame on us!

Who is this

[@hermanosamuel8744]

Thanks for being thoughtful and noticing something wrong.

Sea lions should be called sea dogs. They are so cute 🥺

[@epaminon6196]

Thankfully, they all survived.

I've seen this before. Those animals are lazy and they'll hitch a ride wherever they can.

[@barkeyes8592]

He must of been very tired and needed help. We have depleted their salmon and now they are starving. What are we going to do about it? Probably nothing because we are still eating salmon.

Sea lions and bears/bruins are fairly close...

Wait ill he grows up and finds a dock he can sun himself on then it won't be so cute .
