Description
He got lost and then rescued. A stellar sea lion pup was rescued this past weekend as it waddled its way along busy Hwy. 101 at Newport. The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office was the first to respond, but they realized right away that assistance would be necessary from officials at the Oregon Coast Aquarium. The decision was made to keep the pinniped safe and move it to a better location. What could be better for a lost seal than Seal Rock? The Elephant Rock area and its many offshore rocks are home to stellar sea lions. After treating the pup, Aquarium officials relocated it to one of the nearby islands. They speculate it got lost from its mother during the recent storms to hit the Oregon Coast.
