<!-- story content : start --> NEWPORT BEACH (California) - MIKE Kai thought one of his surfing buddies was thumping around on his rooftop deck, but it turned out to be a wayward sea lion pup, enjoying the view of Newport Beach at sunrise. Mr Kai said he couldn't imagine how the pinniped made it up the stairs and onto the roof early on Thursday. While Mr Kai called Animal Control, the pup showed off, wiggling along a railing on his belly, two storeys above the ground.

The sea lion was taken to the Pacific Marine Mammal Centre in Laguna Beach, where volunteers named him Fiddler, after the Broadway musical 'Fiddler on the Roof'. Staff there say he is underweight, probably because he was recently weaned and having trouble finding food on his own. They say sea lions are mobile and curious, and have been found everywhere from a restaurant kitchen to a public restroom. -- AP

Bloody Wah Piang eh........

That's when you had to clean up their fucking sea lion poo from your roof and swimming pools.:(

I had seen lots of them in California. Amazing huge noisy and foul.

They eat mainly fish and they crap fishy crap around, you faint when you have to clean it up. They have foul breath too. They are protected by law and if you harm them the Sheffie will haul you to jail! :p

My college got cliff overlooking home that look down the Pacific Ocean from 300ft here:

We worked in Silicon Valley, Campbell. I spent months on California Pacific coast taking pictures. Mr. Gopalan Nair lives in Fremont, that is where I usually go for gun range shooting. I lived in Saratoga which is between Campbell & Fremont.

The seals & sea lions are often at Santa Monica way down south. I got lots of their photos . The 500 miles along Interstate highway 1 in California is beautiful sceneries. 100X better than East Coast Park
