Sea lion strolls through S.F.

http://blog.sfgate.com/stew/2015/04/30/sea-lion-strolls-through-s-f/

Marina district residents got a surprise visitor on Thursday morning: a sea lion.

The sea lion reportedly was seen at Marina Boulevard and Divisadero Street and several KGO-TV reporters tweeted out pictures of the mammal....

The incident comes a little over a week after Mendocino County Sheriff’s officers observed a sea lion on Highway 1 in Mendocino County and helped return him back to the ocean.

I know it's getting to be tourist season, but this is ridiculous!

That's about 50 feet from the water. While it may be a bit unusual to see a sea lion cross the street, it's not like the thing was hiking (flippering?) up Market.
