Sweet baby. We’re very happy that he’s healthy again. Do hope, however, that he finds his family or at leeast some friends very soon. All the sea lions I’ve ever seen were in groups, many of them in San Francisco Bay.

And sea lions, where they cluster, like Santa Cruz or San Francisco, actually seem to enjoy humans watching them.
