Help in finding a sea lion

[flossybeth]

Wasn't sure quite what to put as a title but there is a male sea lion who needs finding so he can be helped - he has twine around his neck (which is presumably strangling him) and I know a few of you have boats so if any of you spot him there is a phone number to ring.

Hi Flossy!.....

is he a seal or a sea lion? and what general area is he in?

there is often 1 seal at glenelg but this week there have been 2 around, never seen a second one before?

According to the article it says he's an Australian Sea Lion (I shall edit my post - my fingers must just have typed too fast on the l) and he's been seen between Brighton and Rapid Bay, so quite a distance to cover.

Why do people leave stuff around where it can harm or kill things?

 

I'll look a bit more closely at the newbie around here next time i see him, i hope they find him and can help, i read that most of them die when that happens as they are so hard to catch, so fingers crossed eh

I'll keep an eye out from the tub.

You see a few basking on the concrete breakwater out from Glenelg.

 

Poor thing.
