California sea lion Tortellini
|
Battling malnutrition and pneumonia, this sea lion yearling is receiving the best possible care for a second chance at life. With plenty of healthy fish meals and a tailored medical plan, Tortellini is on her way to regaining her health to be released back to the wild.

California sea lion Superfly
|
Pups like Superfly explore their environment just like human children would! Offering enrichment items like igloos encourages natural behaviors (like climbing on rocks!), mimics features of their marine environment and can increase their rate of learning while in care.

California sea lion Sanddalla
|
Adult sea lion Sanddalla was found in bad shape in Monterey, California. At our hospital, she was diagnosed with domoic acid toxicosis, a neurotoxin that attacks the brain and heart. After weeks of care, Sanddalla was released alongside California sea lion Agentp.
